    Hi Cathy,

    On my 1st biopsy I was sedated as I had a hemrodyctomy as well. That was 2 months post tx. At 8 months post tx I had a biopsy in the office, with no sedation, and had minimal discomfort, as I had no sedation. Lori

    Cathy,
    I had twighlight
    Cathy,

    I had twighlight sedation for my first biopsy at 6 1/2 weeks. He took several swatches plus removed 4 skin tags. The 2nd biopsy was done in his office with a local and only 2 snips. I also only had minimal discomfort.

    Guidelines
    Thanks - already registered there and have reviewed the guidelines again. They just cover the cancer stuff. I'm wondering about the blood work to check for kidney function ect (tired of being a pincushion but don't want to refuse something important. How often have they checked your blood?

    Thanks a bunch,

    Cathy

    Guidelines
    Google National Comprehensive Cancer Network (or go to www.nccn.org). You will need to register, but then you'll have access to the list of diseases for which they have guidelines. Anal cancer is lumped in with Colorectal Cancer, so just find it, click, and you'll be there. This is a very good source of information.
