Lots of stuff

The fine needle aspiration indicates hodgkins. This has a very high cure rate but takes time. The born narrow test , scheduled at 8:15 Tuesday, will tell us the stage. Right now a 3 and if the narrow is clear will stay a three. There are 5 kinds of Hodgkins and 4 are treated the same. Likely this is classical modular sclorosing. Chemo is the therapy. Likely the 4 drug type called ABVD given once every 28 days for 6-8 cycles. Tomorrow will also be the excision of the node in the neck. Wed will be echocardiogram. Andy's in good spirits and positive in the outlook.
