they posted it on her site, it is not clear as to whether it has metastasized to her cervical spine, or spleen etc.  I would call her dr. And getan answer. I know they don't always like telling you on the phone, but that's no worse then posting the pt ant ct results on line.  

I got mot of mine on line, if I wasnt sure oF something I called, still do.  It my life here and no doctor ever complained and I have been messing with it since 2002!

Beat to your Mom and family, 

Carol

absolutely insist talking to the doctor

Dear H4hardik:

I read my initial diagnosis online - no one ever called me that day. Please do insist on talking to a doctor. Leave multiple messages until you get an answer. The online definitions are unclear and open to multiple interpretations. I understand completely how you are feeling and how hard it is to wait for someone to get back to you. The trade-off between getting the online information right away, but without any interpretation or diagnosis is something the medical community needs to address. Do not give up until you reach someone in charge. Good luck and hugs to you.

Sorry your mom and you and your family are going thru this..But keep the FAITH and see if you can speak to the Nurse and expalin that you need someone to go over the report with you. I can understand why you are so concern..The not knowing weighs heavy!!!   Keep pushing to speak to Nurse if Dr not available..since we are not doctors we can only SUPPORT you and suggest things for you to do.(DEPENDS ON IF THIS IS YOUR REPORT OR YOUR MOMS AND IF SHE HAS YOU DOWN TO GIVE HER IMFORMATION TO)...KEEP CALLING OR BETTER YET GO TO THE OFFICE SOMEONE WILL TAKE TO YOU!   Things will get better....Blessing to you    HANG IN THERE ....BEEPOSITIVE!!!
