I just noticed a sentence on my discharge letter.
'EUS: Retrocoele grade 2, palpable mass right side pre resection, persisting induration post resection ? muscle invasive'
Retrocoele is a prolapse of the bowel to the vaginal wall. Basically it's pushing against the wall.
Induration is sclerosis or hardening of tissue.
I have no idea what this means to any treatment I may be given. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
