From what I understand, the doctors didn’t find any cancerous cells in Uncle Brian’s test sample the other day. They’ve decided that rather than doing a biopsy, they’re going to start radiation treatment to shrink the tumor. Then, as my cousin put it, “once it’s small enough the doctors should be able to kill it with a laser thing!”

That IS good news! It means the tumor is less likely to spread quickly, or to spread to other parts of the body. Radiation is still no fun, but it sure beats the whole barrage of surgery/chemo/radiation.

The radiation isn’t very nice, but sounds hopeful!
