Here is the post I am talking about when someone came out and tried to clarify. Who did they pm? Skinner is still being used. I think it is Skinner working behind the scenes to let all the accomplices implicate themselves. He probably has no choice.

they help.
1) Was Andy diagnosed with pancreatic cancer? THE SYMPTOMS HE PRESENTED WERE CONSISTENT WITH CANCER OF THE PANCREAS. BEFORE HE FOUND OUT HE WAS GOING TO BE TREATED AT JOHNS HOPKINS, HIS DOCTOR IN SEATTLE WANTED TO BEGIN CHEMOTHERAPY.
2) When was the diagnosis changed; DIAGNOSIS HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED. When Andy's May 11 surgery was cancelled due to administrative failures, Johns Hopkins did arrange for more pre-operative tests. A more intricate scan was performed by Johns Hopkins last week. That test reflected or indicates that the cancer/tumor/growth/mass has not metastized, it has not spread to other organs, it is localized or contained. The surgeon won't know what he will find until he cuts him open. He won't know if it is malignant or benign until he performs the surgery and not until after pathology does the testing of its cells.
3) Where was the DU party when that diagnosis was changed? THERE HAS BEEN NO PARTY because Andy is still sick, the surgery is still to be performed on the 26th and Johns Hopkins is still charging Andy to let them cut him open to remove the growth/tumor/mass/cancer, whatever it may be.
As Skinner posted in his thread, when the time is right, he will provide the necessary updates. He was satisfied with the documents, releases, proof that was provided to him.
