When we saw the specialist on Thurs., he said that some of what we were told in the hospital does not appear in the pathology reports.
Fortunately, this specialist who "squeezed us in" to see us this early knows the questions to ask. Also, he with have his own pathologist review all of the slides and stain some blank ones. He is also doing blood tests [Kevin complained they took 6 pints! ;-) ] and other lab work. We should have all of the results in about 2 weeks.
In the mean time, Kevin continues to heal quickly from the surgery. We walked the 8 blocks to the doctors office today (for the blood work), then a few blocks to a diner for breakfast (Kev had to fast prior to blood work) and then on home. Of course, kevin is now sleeping to recover from all the exertion, but he's doing great!
By the time Kevin is strong enough to start chemo, this specialist should have gotten to the bottom of just what type of cancer (s?) we're dealing with, and he has recommended a top oncologist.
In the meantime, we continue to be so grateful for all of the emails and calls of support.
