(993 posts)I know what a relief that has to have been. I recently had a prostate biopsy, also with negative results. But the wait for the results was an anxious one.
Congrats on catching it early !!!

My husband had a skin cancer removed recently. Luckily for him, it was a basal cell carcinoma, the most common and least dangerous kind. Still, just hearing the "C" word in the diagnosis was enough to give me the willies.
Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment. Hope you are soon cancer free and stay that way!

(73,928 posts)i knew i had caught it early, but i wasnt expecting- this only barely counts as cancer. not even stage 1a.
and it was only 1 of 2 biopsies. the other was nothing. scar tissue.
