That is sad to hear this. Repeat biopsies (especially after a course of treatment) to gauge improvement or disease progression is one of the best features of the biopsy.
How else can they tell if the fiber density has increased or gotten worse? You could consider printing some of the documentation that supports repeat biopsies...if you think they would even read it or be open to the idea. New medical technology does no good when doctors stop being teachable.
