as I spoke with the surgeon's office gal just 30 minutes ago and asked if I could get the results early. I suspect if the biopsy had been positive, she would have deferred to the doctor but indeed, there were no signs of neoplasm (i.e., malignant cells) or granulomatous (I think that was the term ... another one of those kind of mystery diseases associated with the auto-immune stuff).
If you hear the thundering of footsteps, it is my family and I dancing in the wet streets.
Will just have to sit back and watch the suspicious nodule, probably with future CT scans etc. but if appears that whatever it is, it is very slow growing and I can live with that.
Thanks to everybody for their support, encouragement, and prayers.
