Pathology report

Hi Takayasu

Had a wee look at the pubmed search engineer for it . One to check out with your team for a proper interpretation . I have not seen this from memory before but it seems to suggest it is going to be eliminated or more redundant in nature as it causes ambiguity.

MX appears to mean Distant mets have not been assessed as it may be out with the scope of their assessment. Given it was a pathologist report it could just be that it was not within their remit hence the referenced. Whereas the CT scan would cover distant spread and concluded no spread to lungs or liver given distant mets was exactly what they were looking for . 
Hope your doing ok ?

Hi @court , thank you I decided to phone my nurse - she agreed it’s rarely used and is quite old fashioned . She assured me that I have no spread or that they are keeping things from me .My surgery went well . The plan going forward is chemo but I’m yet to have the meeting with the oncologist. I also still need to have the pre cancerous growth removed from the ileocecal valve but the plan is to have chemo first . The super duper endoscopist specialist seems to think he can remove this with EMR technique which hopefully should avoid further surgery . I’m just off now for a CT scan for a suspected blood clot - certainly never a dull moment but I appreciate all the care that is given . In what I hope is a glimmer of positivity my vascuilitis specialist believes that having chemo will not only be good for mop up but might actually kill my Takayasu disease and I could find myself feeling a lot better
