So, I saw Dr D again today.
After checking how I was recovering from the most recent surgeries and how I went with the Radiation Oncologist, he said “you’re probably not going to want to hear this…..”
WHAT?! He didn’t even say that when I was diagnosed – first or second time?!?!?
….”but I’ve sent away a bit more of the tumour for another test.”
“Yes – I do wan’t to hear this – why, what’s the result and what does it mean?”
To put it simply, if the tumour tests positive with high levels of Ki-67, the risk of recurrence is higher than average. It can also indicate a more aggressive tumour, or predict a poor prognosis.
Before deciding on further treatment, we need the results.
I thank him for going that extra mile to learn as much as we can about this cancer. More waiting.
