Rita:

Be very glad that you saw a doctor who was concerned enough to send you for a biopsy immediately. It is better to be pursuing this now than several months from now.

It took about a week for the results of my mother's biopsy results, but it was one of the longest weeks we've ever spent.

Good luck.
