Is the early stage diagnosis usually accurate after only a small biopsy? Also- the neck drain that they mentioned being the need for a typical 2-3 day hospital stay- can anyone shed more color on this?
My husband and I are going in to speak with the doctor about everything next week- but I just thought I would pick your brains first.
Needless to say- I am an emotional wreck- but am dong my darnedest to stay positive & make sure that my head stays on straight to make sure that I know as much as I possibly can going into this!!
Thank you!
