I wish they’d make up their minds

Most of my friends here know that my husband, Vince, has had heart surgery. There also seemed to be an issue with a lesion on one lung. Several health professionals saw the X-rays and scans and thought that it probably wasn’t much to worry about. So we’ve been sailing blissfully along, telling everyone he’s fine, which he is, sort of.
But now the ‘lung lady’, as we’ve taken to calling her, has rung and highly
recommended a biopsy. If they find anything, they’d remove the offending part immediately. There is a history of various cancers in the family which had an impact on the decision to do a biopsy.
So now we’re back to the waiting game.
The photo shows Vince having his heart stolen by a Shetland foal. He still has the pink coat.

It is a wise move to have it biopsied to determine its true nature, and early detection can help stop it from getting worse. I sincerely hope there will not be any concerns following the biopsy. Enjoy your time together while you are still in the waiting game.

Biopsies can be of a great help when doctors want a diagnosis. Better be safe than sorry.

I hope its nothing Judy but what a worry.
My son recently had a biopsy and it was negative, but he is not well, and I am not sure if they are 100% you know. I know what you mean.

Sorry to read about the hardship you guys are facing. I hope the reports come out all clean....yes definitely an assurance is always better. In my experience, I would recommend getting biopsy done twice from different places just so you know its 100%. The safer the better. Wish all goes well.

I'm glad that they are deciding on the side of caution. Praying that everything goes well for him. How is he feeling otherwise? How about you? That's a great picture. Try and have a good day.

Thanks, Marie. Hopefully whatever it is will be benign or removed if it is malignant.

It is scary when someone tells you we want a biopsy...then you wait. Praying for a good outcome for Vince.

I hope if he has to have a biopsy it is all clear with no complications. The waiting game is not fun. What a beautiful picture, Judy!
