Title: lip biopsy this morning
Post by: sarahjane on February 24, 2011, 07:33:03 AM
Hello everyone and I hope you are all well
I finally had my biopsy this morning (I'm sero negative across the board) and have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with. Firstly the oral surgeon only took 1 gland and as it was my understanding that at least 4 were taken I questioned this and was told if it wasn't enough my rheumy would refer me back. Was this a satisfactory amount to help make my diagnosis??
Secondly she noted that several of my minor glands were enlarged and protruding (and therefore easier to excise)-does this have any bearing on SjS and could this be indicative of anything?
Thank you for any help-now I'm off to take more pills ;)
