Biopsy Monday

As you all know, recurrence is not good and I don't know what it will mean. Likely surgery - but only time will tell. Trying to take it one step at a time but it's so dang hard.
My husband is being all stoic and brave, but I know he is nervous. He hates being put to sleep and I think he is dreading the procedure as much as the results. He rummaged around and found the xanax a couple of days ago, and that has helped his anxiety a bit.
Thanks for the prayers and support, will give an update on Monday. Heck, getting there at 5:30 am, we'll probably be home before the morning traffic clears out!

With you
Prayer for you and your family tonight, and will be thinking of you all on Monday morning. I recently finished a simultaneous biopsy/removal of lymph nodes. Like your husband, I had to arrive very early, and didn't look forward to the preparation drill--put on these tights, tell everyone what you're allergic to fourteen times; but the surgery was a breeze, and it turned out I made the smart choice to have it done. Keep positive.
best, Hal -

My prayers are with you and your family. I can relate to being put under more than once. I was put under 3 times in 10 days. One for a surgical biopsy, the next was for what I thought would be the only surgery to remove the tonsil and neck dissection. I woke up 2 days later and was told they never even got to my neck and had to go back to the OR one more time.
In the end, the result was better than my Doc thought it would be.
I have read allot of your posts and you and your family are strong, I can understand being worried and frustrated. Your husband will meet the challenge, I am confident.
Positive thoughts and prayers for you from me tonight.
Best!!

Hope all went well
Don't blame your hubby - I am "funny" about being put under, too. Maybe it's because I (knock wood) never had to be put under before my tonsillectomy with biopsies. I sent positive thoughts your way the other day, then forgot all about it yesterday. Back to sending best wishes for you.
