Cheryld, you sound just like me but more proactive. Clever of you to get the scans compared and I'm so glad things are looking clear for you. I love what you said about having to trust doctors at some point. I can't quite do that in my present scanario but what I have to do is get the situation cleared up, explained clearly and then figure out a way I can "go forward" without these biopsies causing me to fret so much. One of my friends is so furious about my having to wait till after Christmas for the ultrasound/FNA that I now have to calm her down. Heck, I might try to ring the ENT guy and ask if I can have a normal ultrasound of my neck before I go to Auckland.
We are both in countries with socialised medicine; cool that we don't have to pay but - in NZ - anyway, we get no choices ....
