Update #752

Monday, August 25, 2008
Well we heard back just now from the most recent biopsy. They are still going to run more tests but for now we know:

It looks like:
Fibrous outside layers
Necrotic (dead) inside

It's Likely Not:
Lymphoma
Lymphoid Tumor
Hodgkin's Disease
Metastatic
Adenocarcinoma
Aggressive Growth

It Could Be:
Soft Tissue Carcinoma
Desmoid Tumor (although he said it would be unusual because the necrosis inside)
Weird Malignancy (Heme/Onc's words, not mine)
Fibrous Growth/Tumor

He said that surgery may be our therapeutic choice, but we will decide that when we hear back from the rest of the tests (middle to end of this week at the earliest).

Thanks again for all your prayers, kind words, calls, emails, etc.
