Thank you for checking in. Yes, I had the biopsy, and I now know the results: T2 and Grade Group 3. From what I have read, it's normal to experience fear, anger, disbelief and sadness ... all of which I have experienced. I have maintained a healthy lifestyle my entire life and participated in sports forever (surfing, Ironman triathlons, weight training, etc.) Plus, I have been a vegetarian for more than 30 years. (I am now 67). I am scheduled for a second opinion w/The City of Hope. I have heard wonderful things about them, and they have been fantastic w/me thus far (nurse phone consultation). I want to get started on the treatment ASAP; thus far, I have not determined what the best option is.
