Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Cy, and group: The Neph's nurse called today to make sure was okay. I thought that was very nice of her. BTW, I also took the opportunity to ask about getting his lab results because we wanted to track progress, etc. She said all we had to do is sign a release and they will give us copies. I will do that next week when we visit the neph. Thanks again for your good advice.

Several days afterwards, the risk is considerably less - although you don't want to be asking for trouble. Many adults go to work the day after the biopsy. With kids, docs often like to keep them home because school can be a less controlled environment (pushing, shoving, etc) than most offices. The really important times are the first days right after the biopsy. In our house, the big question was how many days after the biopsy could crawl around under our desks installing what was our new high speed line. The doc was more worried about him bonking his back and upsetting the clot that way. You did good calling the neph. Peace of mind is priceless!
