My tumour

[RoyBoy]

Hi all,

I posted on here a few weeks ago that I had my Whipples op in late April and I am making steady recovery and progress. I walked a mile to my Doctors surgery yesterday and then back home again so I am pleased.I have received my consultants letter where he discusses my tumour that he removed. He says it was 3.5cm in the head of my pancreas and that of the thirteen lymph nodes he removed only one was involved by cancer. He says the tumour should be classified as a pt3 N1 MX. Does anyone know what this means ?
