Elaine Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 While searching today, I found an interesting web site with lots of information. The other thing about it is that this organization of pathologists will decipher your pathology report into plain English. The pathology of your tumor, not just whether it is small cell or non small cell, is very important not only to your prognosis but to your treatment, from what I understand. Here is the link to any who are interested. They do charge 50.00 per report; however, they also provide a load of FREE information on the site, so that it might be possible to get your path report and decipher it yourself. http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 You can ask the Dr about a Ki-76 stain. I think it will tell you how aggressive the cancer is and that will help with how to procede with follow-up That is great that you are stage I and no lymph node involvement at all. There are trials for prevention that you could look into, but as you said it is really good to have surgery and no lymph node involvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
