Hi - You'll know once the biopsy results come back. FYI, about 85% of biopsies turn out to be benign, so don't panic. Chances are everything is fine. I think you're pursuing exactly the right course of action. Take one step at a time, and make your decisions based on the solid evidence that you'll receive after each step. Good luck - PJH
