Wow---how can this happen? Don't they consistently monitor cancer patients???
they do scan regularly, but there is no preventing the spread, if that is the way it's going. i would imagine it is an early catch of the metastis, at least i hope so. but a definite concern when there is any spread.
Yes they do...that's how they knew he had a growth and took it out. This is bad news but it's not the end of the road for him, not by a long shot and I'm sure Tony and his wife aren't busy picking out a suit to bury him in.
I heard Tony on Sean's show last week and he knew then that there was a good chance that the growth would be a met and he felt good that they found it early when they could deal with it.
I'm praying for strength for him and his family, and for comfort and healing.
The sad thing is, according to the article, PET scan and blood tests came back negative for cancer. It is a good thing he had the exploratory surgery.
