Things not to tell your patient after you've canceled her surgery and before you order a test where you won't know the results in less than a week:
Your biopsy also told us how fast your cancer cells are growing. If the abnormal cells are growing any more than 10 percent faster than normal cells, that's something we would normally take a look at. Yours are growing 60 percent faster than normal.
Also, please be aware that all the things you're asking about as you're checking them off on your list:
Any bone pain? Swelling of lymph nodes? Unusual tiredness?
Your new cancer patient is going to be hyperaware to the point of obsession with any twinge or ache and her levels of tiredness until ... well, I'll let you know when it stops.
