I am so relieved...I'll bet that you feel like you've woken up from a bad dream, not really sure yet that it wasn't reality. I hate it that you still have an "area of concern." I have to agree with the others in that I'd want a diagnosis before proceeding with treatment of any sort. Your dr. is using chemo as a diagnostic method.....and it seems a little drastic to me.
You know that we wouldn't all be offering our opinions unless you asked for them.....BUT you did, so you can take them for what they are worth. You've been through a lot, but a biopsy under anaesthesia shouldn't be a huge stumbling block for you, by comparison with the things you've already endured. I sure will check back to find out what you decide, and I'll keep you in my prayers that you will have clarity about the path you should follow.
