Oncologist

I visit the oncologist for his opinion. He is tripped up by the lymphoma diagnosis and doesn't understand why they haven't begun a treatment plan. He places a call to the doctors involved thus far and moves to his opinion....soft tissue sarcoma. He is pretty sure that it is soft tissue sarcoma. Surgery to remove the tumor is the next course of action followed by radiation and/or chemotherapy. Based on the size the tumor is measuring, the news is not great. It is a size that would dictate, easily stage 4 cancer. We look to the surgeon for his opinion. All the while, the kids obviously can sense that something is wrong but until we know exactly what we are facing, Scott and I choose to keep them out of our discussions.
