5th Doctor

Happy New Year!

Dr. #5- UM Pathologist:

We heard back from the pathologist on January 5th. They were not able to tell if it's adenocarcinoma, poorly differentiated carcinoma, or neuroendocrine carcinoma. It's not a usual type of cancer and not straightforward no matter what it is. Even among the experts the only thing they can agree is that it's highly unusual. They think it's T3 and like the other doctors said N and M are unknown. They said that the sampled lymph node was necrotic, but they weren't sure if that was because the demanding cancer had outrun it's supply of blood in the region and died off or if it is because it outgrew the region and moved onto another area. It looks like one kind of cancer, behaves like another, and stains like a 3rd different type, so it's really bizarre and throwing everyone for a loop. Where's Dr. House to solve this mystery when you need him?
