I won.

Lab results.
LDH: Normal
AFP - TUMOR MARKER: Normal
HCG, SERUM: Normal
ABDOMEN/PELVIS FINDINGS:
Shotty aortocaval and mesenteric lymph nodes are stable. There is a stable, 1.4 x 1.8 cm soft tissue density contiguous with the distal abdominal aorta on the left. There are no enlarged mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes.
Layman's interpretation.



Words that I heard today:
The chances of recurrence more than five years after the diagnoses of testicular cancer are dramatically reduced.
"I won" sounds significantly less trite in this context.
