Hi all:

Yesterday I posted that my best friend's husband's radiologist had stated after the needle biopsy given Steve's history good chance it was cancer but not sure. Well in talking with Beki last nite doc did not say that so must have been our other friend who added that statement when I talked with her. What the doc actually said was there was definitely something there and he hoped he got enough tissue samples to get a good reading but if the results were inconclusive Steve might have to have a different type of biopsy. So my apologies and yeah for the doc that he didn't say good chance it was cancer after all before knowing for sure! Have a great day! God Bless!

    Thanks
    Thanks for the clarity... I was thinking what would be an awful thing to say unfounded. Giving the patient and caregivers much possibly unwarranted anxiety.

    what?
    Jan,

    Now you tell me, I already flattened their tires (just kidding).

    I hope the tests are in Steve’s favor.

    Best,

    Matt

    Grr, Friend
    Scary enough, without adding that juicy tidbit. Glad it was just someone making the story more interesting. Hope it gets boring soon.
