So, my surgeon did a biopsy yesterday. They were little core samples. I told him they looked like maggots and made him laugh so I wouldn't cry. He said something about going in with a laser called mose (moze?) to take out any more cancer if the biopsy is positive. He also said he would like to do an O.R. biopsy if this one is negative. Anyone ever have either or both of these?

Thanks,
Barb
