Thank goodness for electronic medical records.  I got the path report today - both intraoperative and post operative.  Drum roll, please. 3 CM CLEAR CELL RENAL CELL CARCINOMA, FUHRMAN NUCLEAR GRADE 1, FOCALLY PRESENT AT PARENCHYMAL RESECTION MARGIN (pT1aNxMx).  Based on what I have read on on the ACS website and learned from the sage members of our on line community, I interpret this as being about as good as it gets, RCC-wise.  I of course will be diligent about surveillance, but it looks like I can breathe a bit easier about what's next, treatment-wise.  I see the surgeon next Friday.  Any thoughts on what are the critical topics to cover?

As always, thanks for all of your support and willingness to share.
