Results

Malignant.  Come from the Latin word, meaning to act malicious.  How apropos to use in connection with cancer. Larry's surgery results came in; we met with the oncologist yesterday and he delivered the bad news.  The cancer has traveled through his lymph node system and has taken up residency in his neck area.  On Monday a PET scan is scheduled to check for all cancer activity.  Our hope is the cancer is isolated to that one area.  Treatment will probably consist of another series of chemo.  We're hanging in there and hoping for the best.
