Thanks guys!!! I'm greatly relieved I'm having a biopsy. I need it for peace of mind. I didn't think the biopsy would be too bad, just possibility of alot of bleeding. I read where others have had it with local anethesia, but my dr said there was no way I should be awake for this. Does sound like he's going to be prety thorough.

Have the feeling I'm going to be getting propofol since he said I will be paralyzed <ugh>. He said he did not want my vocal cords to move at all. Something about putting something under them to support them. He threw so much medical jargon at me, but since reaing these boards I feel much more educated in both understanding him and being able to ask questions. Thank you all so much for that.

Not out of the woods yet, but feel like I can handle whatever it is. There has been so much cancer in my family that it really had me scared. I'm right at the same age my Mom and sister got diagnosed. My Mom and Dad beat it and I know I can too, if needed. Lost my sister to colon cancer 4 years ago and my Mom to Alzheimers 1-1/2 years ago. My worst fear is putting my family through any more. Ny poor Dad has been through enough.
