"I would ask them to explain the reading a little bit better "

Yes, I have a call in to my ENT because I have a bunch of questions for him. One of them is about that pathology report; mainly, does he understand specifically what it means or dies he think it's related to whether or not I should have radiation? When he first examined me and gave me a tentative stage II the only thing I remember him saying about the pathology report is "most squamous cell carcinomas are moderately differentiated" as though it wasn't very informative. He had the same comment for the "invasive" part.
