Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 207 | My first biopsy of a tongue mass took more than a week... My second biopsy of a lymph node several months later(using CT-guided needle) took less than 2 days... I had a GREAT ENT who knew I would die if I didn't know quickly with that second one (I had already been diagnosed with SCC several months before)...
I'm glad others suggested the dye and the brush biopsy options for you BObby -- I would ask about that...
