Experiences with

Biopsy

I’m curious, I have a small spot inside my prostate and had a needle biopsy. They took 17 cores! Poked 17 holes in my prostate for a tiny spot. Does this seem like overkill to you guys??? It does to me. By the way, I was in extreme pain after for a few days. Thanks you guys and god bless! 🙏

I’ve just had my surgery for stage 4 endo on Monday. They removed bilateral Endometriomas - I believe one was 7-8cm and the other 3.5cm. I was told they are being biopsied. I didn’t think too much of that and thought perhaps fairly standard. I’ve now received a letter for a telephone appointment with

I have to have a liver biopsy and am scared. Anyone able to give me their experiences with it please.

My nephrologist is recommending a kidney biopsy because of protein in my urine is increasing. I have stage 3b for about 8 years. I hesitate because I know this damages my kidney. Knowing what kind of kidney disease I have is not important to me. Why should I have one? Any help is appreciated.

Multiple cores in Biopsy, I think 5 of 12. My PSA bounced around between 3.5-4.5. I went to Vanderbilt and chose active surveillance. Did a confirmation Biopsy this week and got my results. 8 of 23 cores positive ranging from 30-80%. I’m mow 3+4 with less than 5% of each core having pattern 4.

The rheumatologist ordered this but he cannot give me a biopsy. Is there a way I can do a biopsy privately? Does anyone have experience of this? Thanks!

The biopsy or the counts???? I told her I want a second opinion. She said all the doctors, professors and registrars will converse with me and find the best treatment!

I have been on AS since Dec.2018, gleason score 6 on 3 cores, had pirads 2 on MRI... in 2022 did it all again, Pirads 3 ...biopsy showed gleason score of 6 on 2 cores... Are these the same tumors from first biopsy ?... just had MRI again its shows pirads 4..

Hiya I have received my biopsy results, This is my 3rd lap after asking for it and pushing as didnt believe what they found in the last lap. I am confused though, any help would be brilliant. A. Biopsy fragment of fibroadipose tissue examined over four levels.

‘Crucially, if you have had AMA and LFT (usually Alk Phos) tests which confirm you have PBC you do not need usually a liver biopsy for diagnostic purposes. Sometimes a biopsy will help with diagnosis and management but your doctor should be able to explain why this is the case, specifically.’

Waiting on 2nd biopsy to confirm I have bullous pemphigoid (skin rash/hives with blisters) . First diagnosed with eczema, started light therapy and rash exploded all over my body. Dr. put me on prednisone for 9 days (night sweats brutal, and took biopsy which came back as a drug reaction).

has anyone with findings on their biopsy with Nodular regenerative hyperplasia? I hope I spelt it right…. If anyone can tell me what happens after it is found ( tests. Monitoring)I’d be grateful. Thank you!

I did receive a letter from the consultant with the biopsy results of the endo that they took out and I am so confused by the wording… ”the biopsy has come back as normal.

Are they going to get a accurate biopsy after 2 months of steroids, I would rather not have someone cut into my head. The biopsy should have been done weeks ago but such is our healtcare system it seems to take fore ever to get anything done!

Would anyone that has had a prostate biopsy care to share their experience? It seems this procedure is often advised but I found the following from a patient online: A 12 or 18 core blind biopsy, holy prostate!

Have others been advised to have a biopsy during watch and wait?

My urologist has suggested using ADT (Orgovyx) 1 months before and 1 month after biopsy to reduce the very very small chance that some tumor cells may escape the biopsy. Has anyone heard of this??? I've always heard that prostate biopsies have 0% chance of spreading cancer.

The biopsy will be done on the 4th December. I am very anxious and scared. Thanks you

Where can you get a liquid blood biopsy? WHY would you get one? Is it covered by insurance? Could I get one after RP and SBRT? How different/sensitive is it to PCa? Curious mind wandering. Thanks!
