a friend of mine recently was excited that biopsy was negative for cancer, said cyst non cancerous. Met with surgeon to have it removed and he said I don't like how the biopsy looks get another one, so she did and it showed cancer.

Still getting surgery but now with other treatments.

People who read biopsies have to be sooooo careful!

I wonder if the surgeon who performed the ill-advised surgery could sue the pathologist as well.. ? TeamProg Apr 2023 #10
