We went to Bartlesville this afternoon and Bob had his ultrasound and needle biopsy. The radiologist said it was cancer but he would not know what type until the pathology department did their work. I said, "Wouldn't it be lymphoma since it is in the lymph glands?" He said, "Not necessarily. I think it's more likely from that melanoma he had." That melanoma was seven years ago and the surgeon then said it was less then 1/2 millimeter deep and had gone nowhere and they had got it all. So we will have to wait unto Friday or Monday to know for sure what type of treatment is available. If it's lymphoma, it will probably be radiation. Bob will not only ask Melissa about treatment but also about a prognosis.
My brother-in-law called and his biopsy came back. None of the five polyps were malignant. They were all benign. But the lymphoma is still there. He will still have to have it treated. His appointment with his oncologist in May 21st. So until then, he will not know what they want to do. That was good news about the polyps.
That's the news of the day. We are going out to Leslie and John's for hamburgers to celebrate our 56th anniversary today. We will go out about 6:00.
That's the news of the day.
