Dr. Agulnik called this afternoon!
The pathology report is back. It confirmed the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma. They also said it was very susceptible to chemotherapy.
He stated that he wanted us to come back up to Chicago for 3 months of chemotherapy. We were still of the mindset that we were going to be doing a surgery! So, it was like say what? The only certain thing about cancer is that every detail about it is uncertain and plans change almost daily. Just when you get in the mindset of one thing the Doctors say, then it quickly changes to something else! I thought I was used to that already and had learned to just go with the everchanging flow of it all. This time though I didn't do so well with that. I think because it has been almost two months from the diagnosis and I am ready to do something, anything about it really! I'm not against operating on myself ya know! Yeah, don't think I'd need surgery if I was willing to that, Can you say straight jacket?
Anyway, He said he would call back later and we could all talk more about it. So we'll see!
Have no idea about the stage yet. Wow, didn't even think about it at all. Crazy huh? I guess since that was the first thing I wanted to know right from the start and it wasn't going to be able to be answered for quite awhile, so I guess I pushed it out of my mind figuring when they knew I was certain they would tell me! I am just hoping for the best and praying about it. I'm not going to sweat the small stuff and in the big picture it is almost ALL small stuff, even now still! Never thought in a million years that if I had cancer that I would think that way about any detail about it. But I do. That comes from an unrelenting faith that God has a better plan for my life. Why better? why now say better? Because God wants good for everyone, including me! So...it has to be better, whatever it is, right? Right! Is it just that simple really? Yes, I answer that with an emphatic YES!
So we are waiting to hear more............................................

Hi,
I was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma 3 years ago.
Push for answers! I don't know where your tumour is, but surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy is the best treatment. So if at all possible, have them take it out then go for chemo and radiotherapy. It worked for me.
God bless and keep praying.
