Biopsy is a really ugly word isn't it?

Mole on my face that is not healing-dermatologist tomorrow to cut it off and the (very attractive, young, female) family doctor who did not want to it said they will probably Biopsy it.

Minor correction: Biopsy USED to be an ugly word, back when cancer was the most dreaded disease you could get and there were very few treatment options.

Nowadays biopsy is a very good word, since so many cancers are treatable and even curable. It may not be any more pleasant than other medical tests (although it can't be worse than the drinking of the pre-colonoscopy goo, or even the annual prostate check) but the results are soooooo worthwhile.

Good luck.

Emma had a nasty mole on her back that was cut out and biopsied. It was benign.

I am sure that yours will be benign too.

Better than a chipotle-possum growing on your face.

You really know how to put things in perspective!

I am sure all will be well!

Nice to see you Spock!

Biopsy does not necessarily equate to bad. It's a great diagnostic tool we didn't have years ago. Benign is a good word. I'm sure we'll hear that from you soon. Good luck!

It's a good thing the docs are paying attention and a good thing they can check it out. good wishes.

Perhaps you'll get the "dermatologist's surprise" like I did. "That mole you're worried about is fine, but that place on your cheek is cancer" (but a "mild" form that is now history)

Thanks, But I generally check in several times a day-just can't say anything most of the time.

It's a much nicer word than 'autopsy,' which 'biopsy' often prevents (or at least, postpones). Good luck on this.

Good Luck.

Now THERE's some perspective for you.

I've been biopsied twice and thought both were beautiful. If they'd been malignant, I'd have been singing a different tune...

Spocky --

And then they will find that whatever it is is benign.

And that's why biopsys are good.

You will be fine, my friend.

Biopsy good.

Uncontrolled things growing on or in you bad.

Take it from someone who knows.

Hoping yours comes back happy.

Thinking good thoughts.
