Thanks for your reply. The doctor suspects MDS but I also have CIPO and Sjogren's and have lost a lot of weight and have been on Boost (no solid food since May of 2019) and can't imagine going through treatment for this too. I don't know how long the results will take to get back to me. Your response has been helpful to me.

A full study of your sample usually takes 5-10 business days. Post biopsy, my doctor recommended heat and ice alternating and Tylenol...no nsaids like Advil as they can cause bleeding. I think they gave me some mild pain meds, too. Take it easy for a few days, too.
