Small update from the biopsy

On Wednesday last week (just 2 days after the biopsy) I received a call from the doctor at UCSF. She explained that there is a lot of cell division going on in the bumps on Charlie's nevus. She said that she expected this because the cells multiplying and collecting are what create the bumps. But they want to do further testing to see exactly what these cells are doing and how they are dividing. This will indicate whether they are benign or malignant.

So once we get these new tests approved by our insurance it will take 3 weeks to get the results. The new tests are on a molecular level and they extract DNA so I guess that is why it will take so long.

And here is Charlie on Easter yesterday!
