12     The Biopsy Results.

Eight days after being admitted. Still in the hospital. Still 'nourished' intravenously. 30 pounds lighter. Medicated for pain.

Biopsy results:

Good news... but not really.

No cancer cells found.... but this does not mean he is cancer free, because samples in a different area could have found cancer cells.

Doctor: "A biopsy can confirm the presence of cancer cells, but it cannot confirm the absence of cancer cells. We still believe your lump is cancerous."
