Hey Brie, I really support your push to engage a doc you trust. The purpose of the biopsy is peace of mind -- peace of mind that you don't have cancer (likely scenario), or peace of mind that you found the cancer and can now begin the fight (unlikely but vital scenario).
A doc you don't trust can never give you peace of mind.
Hugs,
Lynn
