Still have bit of swollen belly and some sharp pain in lower left pelvic area a d moving slow but better..I want this second opinion..should have within next 10 days..but long can I wait to start treatment and be safe!! Do not wa t to wait too lo g! Tnanks Doctor: Hi For second opinion I need your histopathalogy reports,, chemotherapy depends upon the gross look of lesion during intra-op. & also gross look of dissected organ or a part of organ having lesion, more over hystopatholgy report also extremely needed because from this it can be decided the stage and nature of carcinoma, and prognosis, in my opinion you better discus this with your onco-surgeon or chemotherapy physician they are the good judge, Get well soon be in touch with HCM.
