Update on Molecular Analysis

My biopsy analysis was pretty good,I guess. Not that they got any definite results! (AGAIN) Turns out the "best" match is that my cells/proteins/dna resembles primary liver cancer. But neither my Oncologist nor I think that fits. It Might if I'd ever had hepatitis A, but I haven't. Regardless, they eliminated all the other cancers like breast, lung, kidney, colon etc etc so even Dr. Dragovich thinks it's likely that I'll be around for a few more years at least - because it IS slow-growing whatever it is, and he's doing more research to see if it could be a combo-like cancer such as bile-duct AND liver somehow. He's going to talk to the pathologist again. Anyway, it's great news that it's not a cancer that seems to be in a hurry to do anything. More later....
