I know in talking to my ENT, he will not be doing a FN biopsy. he will actually be removing the entire cell and some healthy cells surrounding it to ensure complete removal. It will be done under general anesthetic as my last one was. Would I be too pushy to tell him to go ahead and take out the lymph nodes as well and test them?
