Okay now I am still a little confused. It has been determined that the 'thing removed' was 'The immunoprofile is consistant with a high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma. The findings are highly concerning for Merkel cell...there is a possibility of metastases.
I copied this:
Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the primary tumor, travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, and establish new tumors in distant organs or tissues. These secondary tumors are called metastases and retain the characteristics of the original cancer, not the tissue where they appear.
So now when I thought I was thru with this mess I will see someone else about a body scan to see if there are any more of these 'boogers' in my body, or something like that.
When Doctors say something like " This is usually nothing but it needs to be done just to MAKE SURE? Make sure WHAT, my brain asks? LOL
I know you medical people will enjoy reading this Just to help you some CD56, CK20, LCA and KI-67 WERE ALSO PERFORMED. Got that?
Now that all that is said, I am going to see another Dr. on the 24th to decide how to search my body for mean booggers.
My girl is still having trouble controlling her blood pressure, but she is doing well otherwise. WE walk most days and she feels better.
TAke care, love you guys, sorry I do not know more. Things stay a little hectic around here.
