Patsy that sounds all screwed up. If you have a good relationship with your oncologist hot foot it back to them clutching that report and get them to translate it. It really is a job for a specialist even if your GP is switched on.
I've had a locally advanced recurrence and I certainly didn't get patted on the head and sent home. Surgeons can be egotistical arseholes, as I've found out to my detriment, and can say the most outlandish things about subjects outside their field. Go to the source and get your onc to decode that report. Marg
PS, I envy you being able to run again. The best I can manage now is an agonised trot, regardless of what is pulling me. Xxx
