Dear friends and family,
We received a call last night from Stephen's oncologist with more news. Everyone is pleased with the success of the surgery and, as far as they can tell, the tumor was removed in its entirety. The pathology results came in and the tumor did go up in Grade (the last tumor was Grade 2 and this one he wished he could call it a 2.5, because of the predominance of the Grade 2 cells, just a little bit of Grade 3 - but there is no such thing). As we mentioned before, due to the fact that it was a recurrent tumor, treatment was likely. Yesterday's phone call confirmed this to be the case. We will meet with the radiation and oncology teams in the next few weeks to learn about all the options and choose a treatment path.
Thank you for your continued care and well wishes.
Suzanne
