Biopsy Results

We've been waiting all weekend for the biopsy results. We were 95% sure that it was colon cancer because both Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Waldron were so sure that it was cancer.

I got a call this morning from Dr. Schmidt, the result: Pre-Cancerous, so NOT CANCER!!!!! :)

This is good because it means that its hasn't spread. If it was cancer I was going to have to have CT Scans to see if it had spread to my liver or lungs. If it had, then I'd have to do chemo for a while to try and shrink it, and then I'd have surgery.

Now there's still a 20% chance that it is cancer. But going from 95% sure to 20% possibly is great!

The reason there's still a chance is that the sample they take for the biopsy is from the surface of the mass in my colon. There's a 20% chance that it is cancerous further down inside the mass. Which is why I still need to have surgery to take it out.

So tomorrow I go in for some blood tests, and then surgery Thursday unless we have problems with changing insurance. Jon is going to call today and get the rest of our questions answered.


I will continue to update and post as we find out more.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers, I know they are why the biopsy results came back as negative.
