If he had the biopsy back then it would have been accompanied by the path's report which would/should have explained itself so who is he trying to impress with his uncertainty and why would he call you on a weekend to tell you he was uncertain?
Obviously you need to see him to get the results but regardless of what he says I would want another opinion, good or bad and then take it from there until you are satisfied. I saw 5 cancer docs before I was satisfied and if I had stopped after docs 1, 2 or 3 I would be dead today.
