Shit

Naive of me but what does that mean ? I know it's not good - have they given you any other information ?

How is Steve?

paddingtonbear1 · 10/08/2007 15:06

I am so sorry to hear this
can he have treatment?

Tigana · 10/08/2007 15:08

they grade from 1 - 4, 1 being slowest growing.
Treatment etc also depends on the type of tumour, location etc.

WaynettaSlob · 10/08/2007 15:09

Oh OJ - sorry to hear that

Nemo2007 · 10/08/2007 15:10

Grade 4 is highest/fastest growing rate. Next course of action I assume would normally be chemo/radio therapy.
