I got the pathology report back on my tumor.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:23:55.000Z
It was 1 cm in size and hadn't breached the soft tissue on the outside of my large intestine.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:24:06.000Z
It had not spread into the blood vessels.

It had not spread into the lymph nodes.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:24:22.000Z
It had not spread into the nervous system.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:25:02.000Z
What this means is, it was detected and removed so early it basically didn't have a chance to go anywhere into the surrounding tissue.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:25:18.000Z
Or into the parts of the body that spread things around.

So I had a meeting with a radiation oncologist yesterday morning.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:26:13.000Z
And looking at my reports, he told me there was no need for radiation because there was nothing TO irradiate.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:26:58.000Z
My General Practitioner told me, after reviewing my files, that he's in agreement with the radiation oncologist's findings.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:27:24.000Z
I'm being sent on over to biological oncology next to see if a specialist feels I need chemo.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:27:28.000Z
Or genetic testing.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:28:05.000Z
But it was the radiation specialist's belief that, based off of what he was seeing, there was probably little need for chemo.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:29:37.000Z
So that's where I am right now.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:30:51.000Z
The radiation oncologist told me that he estimated a "less than 10% chance of recurrence"
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:30:58.000Z
Which isn't no chance.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:31:27.000Z
But that's. A lot better than it would have been if I'd waited a year or two to get treatment.

PHEW that is all extremely good news
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:38:51.000Z
I STILL GOTTA GET THE MEDICAL ONCOLOGIST TO SIGN OFF
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:39:03.000Z
They could swoop in and go "hey buddy let's do some chemo for fun"
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:39:12.000Z
Please, I hope they do not.

even if the final doc does say yes chemo, this is a great outcome. i'm glad you caught it early enough that it hadn't spread one bit
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:46:06.000Z
Yes. The pathology report is basically the best possible outcome you could hope for.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T20:46:12.000Z
With it still being, you know, cancer.

See if you qualify for genetics
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T22:24:36.000Z
uzione: Yes. both my paternal grandfather and my paternal uncle died at age 39, before they had a chance to develop any cancers. so there's a hole on my dad's side of the family in terms of genetic cancer. and I do have a cousin on my dad's side with breast cancer in her 50s.
Dr. BeardoPuff
2024-05-17T22:25:24.000Z
that is the one thing I would want to push for.
ohhitsasnake
2024-05-17T22:26:30.000Z
It's immensely helpful in helping determine outcomes and preductability
