I was so nervous also! It s natural and a lot to go through. When mine was done three doctors called me. I knew it was positive. You can do this . We are here for you. This was six years ago and it was rare in Kentucky .

was supposed to go yesterday for biopsy....what a mess with schedule !! basically "lost me", then tried add me on late night!! As of now, it has been resolved (hopefully) and go Friday late morning with a different surgeon in practice! Did have my MRI done and it is all normal. still no results on blood work. Never met surgeon at appointment Monday...only the PA. She told me that they were doing both sides and general anesthesia !! Not what I wanted to hear, or expected....had been told only local anesthesia. Don't quite understand "the time is of the essence" due to prednisone. was told that the biopsy was one of the most "simple" vascular procedures. Still nervous about having it done, but did get a note from my GP to please go and get it done as it was so important.
