hi all
i have a date 20th to have the test... i have looked on web and it appears that if they want to take a biopsy......this is a bad move if you have cancer as it can cause it to spread..... has anyone else come across this

Hi Jeffers

You're jumping the gun again, my friend - it says that "it can" cause it to spread not that "it will" and you still have to be diagnosed!

Have faith in your doctors. They are experienced and I'm sure want to track down the source of your problem too but as with every investigation there are different things to take into consideration. To do nothing would also be wrong!

Anyway - at least you have been given a date (and on Valentine's Day - lucky man Wink )

Look after yourself and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you next Tuesday

Cheers - Pete
