Hi All, and especially Pea pod Cheryl and Suzanne: I finally got part of the results from my August 5th biopsy - the GOOD part. The suspected area from MRI showed: Benign respiratory lined mucosa with mild chronic inflammation and mild fibrosis. Because of my immune system being so low, an infectious disease doctor (who I see tomorrow) also used part of the biopsy to determine if any infections (already determined yeast in mouth and bladder infection), and looking for pseudomonas that could be causing other symptoms I have. But, for now Peas, let's do the Happy Dance about NO CANCER for any of us, and hopefully other forum members too! I add all of you in my prayers every night and ask for yours. Hugs from julieann
