Wishing you the best on your biopsies! I agree it is rough waiting for results of various tests. My otolaryngologist is the bomb. He has me do PET scans in the morning and has me bring the films to the appointments and has the radiologist do his report before the appointment. I don't know how he makes the schedule work but it sure makes the waiting so much easier. The last round my wife asked me if I was staying up all night studying for my tests when she noticed I was not sleeping the night before. She's the greatest!
