Hi, I got the report back and it says I need to have a FNA which is a needle Biopsy. Don't see Dr till 21st, so another 2 weeks before I can have it done after I see him. Hate this waiting. 😳😳

@lynnebgraham Thanks. Have been thinking about you. What joy, more waiting. Ugh.

Did you have needle biopsy before or just ultrasound? I had the ultrasound, then same thing as you, FNA referral. I think they did three pokes in diff places. Needle is very thin and pokes were brief. Not bad.

Hope that they can get your results quickly!

I see doc early November and I expect she'll rec another ultrasound to see if mine has changed. We can compare notes.

Hang in there.
