Dr. Tsao (chemotherapy oncologist) at MD Anderson congratulated Dale on his pathology report today! Yippee, no chemotherapy or further treatments recommended! She does want Dale to strive for 2400 calories/day to get him in shape for his Spring Break cruise.
Dr. Rice (thoracic surgeon) was glad to see him recovering well from the surgery. He will follow up in 6 months with a CT scan. He discussed the pathology report with us. The one lymph node involved was located next to the primary tumor. The other lymph nodes in the surrounding area were all clear.
Dale will meet with Dr. Kupferman (ENT) at MD Anderson on Feb. 21 to discuss the nerve damage to Dale's vocal cords.
As for now, eating and regaining strength are Dale's primary jobs!
