update

Well I had the core biopsy last night as well as a chest xray. The xray was clear. I should get the results of the biopsy by the end of the week, but the consultant is pretty sure it is a soft tissue sarcoma in the blood vessels.

Each year at the end of May, beginning of June many of the UK's cancer specialist doctors, and a fair number of the nurses, head off to the US to attend one of the world's biggest cancer conferences. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (or ASCO as it's generally known) meeting is huge. It attracts specialists from all over the world.
