Oncologist Consult

We discussed the next steps with the oncologist today.  Unfortunately, no clear answers.  We have good margins.  But not good enough if it’s an injection site sarcoma.  Nothing in the pathology reports suggests an injection site sarcoma. But the location makes it a possibility.  And if it is, we’d need between 3 and 5 centimeters of margin.

If it were an injection site sarcoma, we’d definitely want to do radiation treatments.  Otherwise, we probably don’t want to put him through the stress of the treatments; but monitor him closely.   We got the doctor’s opinion, we just don’t know what to do.  We’re meeting with the radiation oncologist tomorrow for his opinion.

In the meantime – Cas looking adorable today.

  1. Awwwww smoochy face! That is THE most adorable picture of you ever! You have the most mesmerizing eyes Castiel!

    As for what to do. Well, you’re leaving no stone unturned and talking to the radiation therapist should be helpful, at least I hope. I’m not sure what I would do either. It’s so frustrating when we don’t get a 100% clear diagnosis.

    1. Yes, it’s frustrating and today’s consult with the radiation oncologist left us even more confused. I wish I knew what to do. I wish the science was better.
