Details, ie; results of pathology report: I am waiting as I type this to return to the nuclear medicine center where the radioactive whatevers they injected this AM will be scanned by a "gamma camera" (excuse the lack of technical detail.
In the meantime I popped by the urologist's office to obtain a copy of the pathology report, as I know people involved in discussion about the specifics of their individual cancers like numbers, so here it is, closely following the format, and double checked for typos etc: (wish I had a scanner!)
