At least the doctors did not waste any time recognizing the need for a biopsy and then getting it done. That makes it a lot easier to be able to do something about it and start fighting. Have the doctors said anything about recommended steps to take? Lots of people here have had recurrences and I'm sure they will be along to share with you some of their own experiences for a good outcome.
