I spoke with nursing staff at the surgeon's office, the test results are still not in?? It's been 7 working days.

Anyways, I was told the tumor was 5 mm however this report from the initial biopsy makes it seem like it's a lot larger 1.5 X 1.5 X 1 cm. Or am I just getting worried over nothing?

GROSS DESCRIPTION

A. Received in formalin, labeled with the patient's name and medical record number,
