Posts Tagged ‘biopsy’

I hate "googling" things, as it just makes me that much more hypochondriatic (if that’s a proper word…)

If the doctor sent off some of the esophagus off for a biopsy, I’m guessing he had good reasons for it?
I just want to know what all the possibilities are for this. Cancer? If so, what kind? Or could it be something benign and/or minor, like acid reflux?

Thanks for any and all answers!

For years, I’ve had a bad case of eczema that has morphed into many different kinds of bad rashes, all over my body. I’ve been put from all types of cortisone creams to many pills and different types of steroids. Is it possible to develop a disease like cancer from taking so many different medicines like it’s possible to develop cancer from things like radiation?
I also have a higher than normal risk of getting cancer… I have to biopsy everything that looks suspicious.
