I pray it is not uncomfortable/hurtful/etc.....

Tell us all about it b/c we never know when one of us may face the same someday.

Had the biopsy today, it was not bad.  First they inject Novocaine, then they use the ultra sound and guide a needle into the mass and retrieve some cells.  They had to get three samples, but basically painless.  The results are in already: it is a   lymphoma cancer tumor.  At least it is not a different kind of cancer, so the same treatment will take care of the gland and eye.  Now I have to have the bone marrow biopsy on Mon. and then finally I hope I will get a treatment plan and get started on that.

Pray that the bone marrow biopsy will not be painful and will be normal.  Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes, you are very special people,
Love you all

Cricket,

I'm glad to hear the procedure was basically painless. I am sorry to hear it's a cancerous tumor, but as you say, there is comfort in knowing the gland and eye treatment will be the same treatment.

You've certainly had a round of it lately.  I will be praying and keeping you in my thoughts that your biopsy on Monday will be normal and not painful for you.  Will you have someone going with you for the procedure to support you? 

Take care and know you are very special to us all.
