Kristi,

Sorry I can't be of much help, but Heather didn't have any patches....red, white or otherwise...so I don't know too much about that. Hopefully Brian will post a reply for you. In the meantime, if you go to the Foundation Homepage and do a search, you can find a lot of good information which should help answer some of your questions.

As for the biopsy results taking longer because of the holiday, it probably will be a little longer, but it still shouldn't take 2 weeks. Ask the surgeon how long he thinks it will take and then call....repeatedly if need be.....if you don't hear from them in that time frame.

Now, try to relax a little and enjoy the holiday! Good luck!

Rainbows & hugs, wink
Rosie
