Guest guest Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Just had to weigh in on the biopsy issue. He did three places. The first two it wasn't anything but pressure. The last one was intense pain for a split second. It would make me a little nervous if I had to do it again but overall it is really minor. Staying in bed afterward was really annoying. Also no heavy lifting or exercise for two weeks, which I thought was a bit extreme. I am glad I had it done. Knowing an exact diagnosis gives you a little peace of mind.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 When I had my biopsy done last year, I was not hospitalized. After the biopsy, I was in the recovery room for a while and then was released. The neph did the painless procedure. Jack (NY) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Hi Debbie. Hashimotos is more an inflammation rather than something associated with cancer. But I'm sure your doc will help steer you in the right direction! Janie > I'm seeing the do in a couple of weeks of weeks. My thyroid is really > enlarged so I'm wondering should I request a biopsy.
