Hello ,
" Mostly necrotic tumor consistent with recurrent adenocarcinoma " that was the biopsy results which at first I thought could be a little good news I mean dead cells in a tumor has to be good right ? Oncologist says no that it's common to see necrotic tumors with cancer which sucks big time and then old Dr Google is really scary today saying that it means the tumor is outgrowing it's blood supply and that means it's aggressive with poor prognosis . Which the oncologist didn't say none of and since we got to wait until the middle and end of the month for more appointments with radiation oncologist I am freaking out . If it's so aggressive why are they waiting so long to start treatment ? It really makes no sense to me .
So looking for someone who knows about or has had a necrotic tumor to try to get more information about what it really means as far as my dad's cancer . Should I be pushing to speed things up ? Is it common to see necrotic tumors with rectal cancer ? Any help really at this point I will take I got to stop googling stuff online feel like I am losing it .
