Well it has been a hell of a ride so far but doctors have been rather vague in regards to giving me a prognosis. That's mostly because they just do not know as to how long I've had those tumors and how aggressive is the cancer. Cancers are usually evaluated in stages and grades, now a stage I cancer is usually a small tumor....I'm stage IV ( that's as far as it goes ) that means that the cancer has already spread to distant places ( metastised ).
However the tumor needs to be graded and that is perhaps the most important factor as it will give you an idea as to how fast the cancer is growing.
Up till now I haven't put much thought into it but on Friday I'll be going in for a new CT scan which will give the doctors the opportunity to compare them with my previous scans and give them an idea as to the progression/regression or stagnation of the disease.
I will get that answer on Monday, I'm not going to fret for the next few days over it, I'm going to enjoy my ignorance and deal with it when I come to it.

A very healthy attitude. Good luck with the not-fretting. Hope the zoo is a fun distraction for you both. On the other hand, if you do end up fretting just a little despite your best efforts, I will forgive you!

Ahhh the river of denial. Love that place myself! Your Mondy should be nearing an end about now, any news?
