it was originally moderately differencated at biopsy,,,, Then poorly - And now moderately again at pathology??? More confusing???
When hubby was diagnosed, I was ‘praying’ for some good signs/test results. (I have stopped praving now.. it’s not me.. and it doesn’t work for me)
Anyway, after hoping/praying without success(!) for ‘benign tumor’.. then please not stage IV.. then please not Kras mutant... then please MSI..
Then suddenly I saw that the Grade had changed! It had changed from G3 at biopsi to G1 at pathology (after resection). I thought Yes!!
finally something that sounds good that I can mention/ask about at the Onc appointment with DH. (I did not want ask about stuff I knew was ‘not good’). DH’s Onc replied: “that does not matter since he is stage IV”. Sigh
Yes I understand that now.. but didn’t at the time.
As I understand it you have no metastasis so this might make a difference to you? Please ask your doctor.
Yes all this is confusing and maybe hard to answer ‘for sure’.
I wish you all the best!
