And Friday's results say...

Hi all -

We had the appointment for the oncologist, and radiation dr. this Friday. Apparently, the pathology report done was rather ambiguous and unclear in its language, so the oncologist is asking to have the pathology report re-done. He is asking a pathologist with lung & testicular specialties to take the original tumour slides and do a fresh report. This should take about another 3 weeks. This report will be the basis for future treatment. In the meantime, I'll have another CT scan and lab work done. This should determine whether or not I would receive some prophylactic (preventative) radiation to the chest. So, I'll guess we'll be keeping everyone informed as we wait for some more answers. In the meantime however, the incisions are healing nicely, and I'm able to take a shower again - yeahhhh!!
