Hi Janice. Welcome but so sorry you have to be here. Sorry for all you and your husband have been through. Hopefully the biopsy will be negative. If there is a need for a second opinion, Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD is one of the top cancer hospitals in the country. My mom had surgery there for pancreatic cancer. Johns Hopkins is not that far away. Good luck.
