LeslieB,

Thanks for the links. Yes,I should have used the word Staging. Of course at this time I have no idea about my brother's cancer staging or future treatment. Doctors can think it's Stage 1 and it could end up III or IV so I will not read the main part of the OCF until we know what's what. I learned that too much information about staging and potential outcomes prior to surgery can lead to confusion. As the site says, each cancer and it's treatment in individual. We are just going to have to wait for the path report.
