Biopsy of Main Mass 2/3/12

The main (cancer) mass was sampled for a biopsy during the colonoscopy on 1/30.  The results of these biopsies came back positive as expected.  The official name of the type of cancer found is Adenocarcinoma.  This type of cancer developed from colorectal polyps.  Sheila did not have other polyps found during the colonoscopy.
