Biopsy today! not thrilled, but we'll see


ok so they did the biopsy of a lymph node around where the 7 is on the chart. i thought they were doing one on a lymph node close to where the 10 or 8 are. they are all cervical lymph nodes so i was afraid they got the wrong one and the biopsy in December was on one closer to the front. plus this time it hurt like the devil! they went in on the back of my neck closer to pressure points, below my ear. I'd take a picture, but i have a mole back there next to it and a close up of that mole wouldn't be pretty!
I should find out Friday, the results. but the dr.s office is closed on Fridays. SO I'll be peeved if i don't get the results until Monday, but that would be my luck!

Hope they got it right! Sorry it hurt, that sucks! Oh my aunt Gwen said that they have connections with people from Stanford Medical, if you want to go that route, she offered to totally hook you up. You can ask her about it if you want, since you will see her every week now!
