I had a needle biopsy through the back, AND, it was done locally. Biopsy was sent to a lab in Texas to learn
what it was. My doctor had never heard of it before.
I would like to hear more about your symptoms if
you would , please.

@tenclawz thanks for the additional information about your diagnostic process and the it was confirmed to be a paraganglioma tumor. I'm tagging a few other members who can share their symptoms and treatment experiences like @sharik @cootiesgirl1 @ristene @patriciagsr @mrruttinger1 @katherinepearl350 @northwoodsbarb.

Tenclawz, where is your tumor located? Did your doctor refer you to a cancer center or a physician specializing in paragangliomas?
