Re: Looking for your thoughts/advice - Do I biopsy or not?

Hi there-

Thank you all for your thoughts and advice! I was uncharacteristically indecisive on this issue but went ahead and had the biopsy on Thursday. It was getting a little bigger and ended up a good sized node (hence the longish incision - compaired to what I was expecting…see attached) but the pathology came back TODAY as B9.

Yahooooooo! I could just sing I am so happy.

Thank you all so much again!

Lots of love,
Maureen
