Hi, It is the case where I will get a call from the surgery center after 3 pm today to tell me when to come in. I think the fact that my doctor wanted to do it in as a minor surgery with drugs like in a colonoscopy is not real comforting. The not knowing for sure until the results come in is awful. I hope it is early in morning since I can't eat after midnight. I am a get up at 5 am and have breakfast at 5:30 kind of person.

@tally9004 Oh, like you I like to get these procedures done early in the morning. I’m not an early morning person anymore but for a procedure I’ll do it. I’m thinking that like a colonoscopy you will be talking with your doctor ahead of time and afterwards. So you can ask when you will know about the results. Some pathologists turn these results around really quickly like in 24-48 hours. Also, the surgeon might give you some preliminary impressions before the tissue is analyzed in pathology.

Will you let me know how the procedure goes tomorrow? I’m wishing you a compassionate medical team that listens to you and provides you with excellent care.

@tally9004, how did your biopsy appointment go? How are you doing?
