Biopsy results are in.

3/12/2012

So I talked with my surgeon today and she confirmed that the biopsy results were in line with the first assumption:  It was indeed a melanoma tumor.  So I have an appointment with my oncologist on Wednesday.  I'll know more about the plan of attack at that point.  I've been keeping up on trends in cancer research over the last 6-7 years since my last bout with it.  Gamma knives and the DNA specific treatments (though I just got an article showing some trouble with some of the DNA tricks) are giving me a lot of hope about eliminating the last few cells that may be left over.

Kevin & Jai, I'm so very sorry to hear this diagnosis. At the same time, I'm heartened by remembering that you (both) made it through your last "bout." I hope that bodes well for this time. You know I'll walk this journey with you. Big hugs to you both. ~M

I'm so sorry to hear the results of the biopsy, Kevin, but you got rid of it once and I'm confident you will do so again. Good for you that you are researching options. I'm not al all familiar with either of the treatments you mention, so I look forward to learning more.

well drat, glad you feel optimistic about the new trends in treatment though. That is so weird that a melanoma that we usually associate with skin can be somewhere else, but that is the cancer crap for ya.
Hope you are resting up lots!

    It's me, Kevin, but with a brain tumor.  Disclaimer:  I have a very dry and twisted sense of humor.  This is a scary situation.  The jokes ("tumor humor") could be a little dark from time to time.  I intend to keep this rather interesting for you, but if I get a "how could you SAY that?!?" response from you, know it's just, well, I hesitate to use "gallows" humor, but I don't have better phrase for it.  Enjoy, and thanks for your support through this time.
