tydyelady Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 So sorry to read this, having just gone through it myself. Hugs to you, do your research, ask questions, and do the thing you think is best for your boy. When I learned with Opie is do not be afraid to ask for pain meds, and large enought doses, to keep him comfortable. Hugs to you.

vjgrey Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 oh NO :( God, not another baby. ETA: I personally would not do a biopsy -- it's very invasive and can cause more problems than help Not sure whether you're referring to the suggestions about a fine needle aspirate, but if so, it's not the same thing as a biopsy. It's much less invasive and less risky.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
