It' the biopsy that tells the tale. All other information is speculation (even if it's well informed speculation from a great doctor. I'm suprised that you are being asked to wait two weeks for results of the first biopsy. They can generaly get that result in 72 hours. feel free in calling your doctor after 72 hours on any of these biopsies. They may have a fast answer for you.
