In reply to: biopsy's posted by Kathy on 9/7/2001 from 63.57.42.251:

Kathy,

Thank you for writing. Your case is not one that can simply be answered in this forum. Keep asking the doctors those good questions as well. There are cases when more than one biopsy may be necessary to false positives or false negatives. Be persistent.

AN IMPORTANT REMINDER: It is very difficult to render an opinion withoutknowing all the facts of any one particular case. But one strong recommendation we would like to make is that you pursue your question(s)with your own physicians. You should feel fully empowered to obtain a
satisfactory answer and feel free to seek a second or third opinion. Wehave some great tips on partnering with your health care team and key questions to ask your doctors, communication tips and informed decision-making tips to help you get the information you need.

WIN ABC is here as a resource for you, if you have not done so already,please complete the Personal Profile Form at the top of this page to help us best meet your needs and feel free to contact our office directly at (626)
332-2255. Your information will be kept confidential.

We hope that this helps.
Thank you,
