I’m trying to understand the story. It seems if they’ve done a biopsy they would know the type of cancer. If they didn’t biopsy, how did they determine it’s cancer and not something benign? Or did they do a biopsy and it’s inconclusive as to type?What did scans show? Which areas are they planning to radiate? Maybe for radiation they don’t need to know what type of cancer??? Are there more case details you can share? It feels like we’re coming in at the end of the story.
I remember when they thought my brother had bone cancer because the issues were in his pelvis and spine, but after spinal tumors were removed and biopsied, they learned it was metastatic lung cancer. They then found two tumors in his lungs but he never had any respiratory symptoms. That’s when they started chemo and radiation. He was 45 and never smoked so we were all shocked. Point being it’s hard to know where the primary is without a biopsy.
