Hi all 

So I've had my biopsy results and they come back suspected benign after a meeting with my consultant to discuss my surgery he has now said he's going to send what he scrapes out to be biopsied again..should I be worried or is this normal? 

Thanks in advance

    Hi, 

    I had a benign tumour removed from my tibia, just below my knee in 2018. It was biopsied initially and then investigated again when it was removed at the surgery. 

    I think they do it just to triple check that the entire thing is totally fine and there was no little pocket of abnormal cells inside it that they might have missed. Obviously if there was, it's been removed anyway but I think they do it just to make extra sure. 

    That's how I understood it when I had it anyway!
