It appears that the initial tissue biopsy was only good enough to give an initial diagnosis. However, there are many different types of Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Dr. Reichman will need to do an incisional biopsy to get more tissue. As of now, this is scheduled for March 5th. This is going to be done in the surgery center and I will be under general anesthesia. We tried to schedule this to happen the same time as the port insertion, but we came to realize that that procedure will not be done using general anesthesia.
What sucks is that this is scheduled for 1:30pm and I can't eat or drink (including water) after midnight the night before.
