Once pet scan is done Monday and get results Friday I will at least know what stage and what there actual plan is not hypothetically depending on finding. I'm fi ding that the waiting if I think too much about it sends me in a head spin as don't have the necessary knowledge to even except let alone deal with the psychological aspects of it. Once I know the extent of it be it bad or better then thought and the acceptance of the reality of my situation sets in I think I can get a better equalization of my feelings. But oncologist made it sound like because it's 10cm (4inches) that the scan will show late stages. I hope you are doing well with your situation

My tumor grew vertically in my esophagus and was also 10 cm.
I was Stage 2 (T2N1M0).
Keep the faith.
