Brief Answer:
We need to wait for the results

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query. I understand your concerns.

However, often these biopsies are done for suspicion, and come back as negative. Particularly, if no recent change in pattern or growth has been noticed, there's nothing to worry.

But still, we need to wait for the final biopsy report before conclusively clearing you.

Hope this helps.
Regards

I got my results and they all came back precancerous so they want me to come back in and take more out more Margins but they will only do one at a time every two weeks I wish they could do the two on my back at the same time and the one on my butt another time

Answered by Dr. Indranil Ghosh (4 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Reasonable to do one at a time

Detailed Answer:
Yes, if precancerous, more margins will be required. Often sequentially done rather than all at the same time. So there is nothing unusual there. It won't compromise the outcome.
