That's great, Mickey. My (non-professional) guess is that you are benefiting from the small size of the primary tumor, the surgery to remove it and its HPV status. Just think - you can happily skip (well, walk, anyway) out of RADS on Friday. Interestingly, your diagnosis profile is the same as my husband's - negative needle biopsy and initial CT scan. Glad they kept investigating and you are now on the road to good health.
