Great news on the nodes being clear. Means a lower stage and less harsh treatment plan.

[quote]Was anyone here picked randomly?[/quote]Basically, he is saying he does not know where it came from or how he got it.

Other than those who had a history of much drinking and smoking and have SCC HPV-, much of it is "random". This just means they do not know all the factors that trigger cancers.

Even HPV+ is the known source of this cancer but why do only a very small percentage that get it do not pass it without it turning into cancer?
