Today I went in as an out-patient to have another biopsy, this time on my pelvis.
The only difficult part was no eat or drink after midnight until after the biopsy.

After the operation, I was taken back to my room where I had my lunch waiting.
It was cold, but I didn't care, I never thought hospital food could taste so good, even cold. Wow, that didn't take long.
15 minutes later they brought my supper, and I ate it all too.

Not much happened today. I finally got some needed rest. Later, We went to the church for one of the special Easter services.

Obtained the results of Wednesday's biopsy.
It does not look good; I will quote parts of it.

Specimen: Fine needle asperation of right iliac crest

The cell block contains small clusters of tissue containing a
cellular, poorly differentiated, malignant neoplasm showing
little differentiation.
One other group contains scattered multinucleated giant cells.

Diagnosis:
Cell block demonstrates a pleomorphic poorly differentiated 
malignant neoplasm in which some areas are suggestive of 
renal cell carcinoma.
Please correlate clinically.

If you understand the above, you got one up on me.

That's all for now, Need my rest...
