Reply #44: I hope you discussed

[Mojorabbit]

this with andy before posting here. I know from personal experience thaat you can get several diagnosis before they narrow it down to the correct one. My father had several before they finally opened him up and decided it was indeed metastatic cancer and they thought it was a benign tumor before hand with no spreading which turned out to be wrong even after several MRI's.

I had several dx myself before they hit on the correct one after more and more sophisticated tests.

So while he may have been given a dx of cancer in the beginning it may now be a encapsulated tumor which may or may not be cancerous which they will NOT know till they get in there and biopsy it.

I don't know Andy but I am a retired nurse who donated.

So I really really hope you have spoken with him first before posting this.
