So now the doctor called back and after talking to the head of nuclear medicine at PIH, they've decided that they want to do a fine needle biopsy of the mass before the scan. These are NOT fun. I had one last time and it was pretty painful. This mass is pretty far in my neck so I'm sure this one will also be pretty painful. HELLO! A HUGE needle being put into your neck. Talk about wanting to scream! So please pray, now this is our next step and we're waiting for the okay from insurance.

I'm so sorry Robyn- that certainly doesn't sound like a good time.
Not fun indeed!!! At least the test will provide some conclusive answers on what it is, etc. I am thankful they are wanting to be thorough, and not just move you "along" in the process. Will they give you something while they test you??
