    Excellent Pathology

    Hi, Angie.  This looks like an excellent pathology report.  The lowest grade of RCC (grade 1) meaning it did not display cells that were agressive, contained in the kidney with Sarcomatoid and Rhabdoid features not present.  My guess is that you will have annual scans rather than six month scans after your six week visit.

    Well

    That looks pretty amazing to me

    Stage is 1b

    Says grade is 1 which is great news.  From my layman readings most stage 1b were grade 2 as they always use the highest grade they

     

    find

    I know you had issues with the lymph nodes and as I have had no experience I will not comment but the report looks the best possibly  you could get    Other than benign of course

     

    My follow ups are six months  but again I will let the more experienced people comment

     

    Great News So pleased

    Good path report. I'd be very relieved. Grade 1 is pretty unusual so I agree; it's the second best outcome you can get. Now focus on getting well!
