Called doctor today to review pains and progress. Doc was busy and left message with nurse assistant. Doc called back a few hours later to discuss changing meds for better comfort. DOC ALSO GAVE ME MY DIAGNOSIS. Tumor was NOT CANCER, but a rare lymph node overgrowth called Castleman Disease. Treatment is simply extraction and monitoring. Now I must survive recovery. I am in a lot of pain, so being happy is hard at moment, but my wife is ecstatic, understandably.
