Dr. Goldfarb,
Thank you SO much for your response. I do not know the size of the
cyst. I was able to move my appt up to this Thurs, so I will find out
then.
I have been really worried & thinking the worst of all this, but I am
now feeling more calm & will be glad to get the biopsy done & the
results in.
Thank you to everyone on this board--it is really a wonderful service
that you provide. Again, I appreciate the time you took to reply, and I
am hoping for the best. I will let you know what happens...
