Some quick positive news!

Best birthday present ever! — Just received Paul's biopsy results, and the grade of his tumors has not changed since last year! (With this cancer, the tumors can jump grades to a more aggressive state at any time.) So while yes, he's still riddled with cancer, it at least continues to be a slower-growing kind. It's the best news we can get other than the cancer magically disappearing (or a cure appearing).

Paul's result is 3% on the Ki-67 Proliferation Index. (This basically means the overall expected percentage increase in cancerous cells over time.) 3% is barely in the "moderate" category, super close to the slowest growing category.

Grade 1: Less than 3% (slowest growing)

Grade 2: 3-19% (moderate)

Grade 3: 20+% (aggressive)

Ending this nightmare of a week on a positive note! That is all. 😅

Paul somehow accidentally made a fashion statement out of his hospital gown. 😂. Also, I'm seeing some nice empty space back there for some new tats!
