Just so everyone here knows: If you question the accuracy of your biopsy, then by all means have it re-read. Johns Hopkins accepts tissue samples done outside and their pathologist will read them again. Tissues are frozen and stored for long time periods, so no problem in having this done. In many cases, insurance will pay for these 'second opinions' and this includes second readings...you'll have to check with your own insurance company.

I also can't emphasize enough to have the morphology (condition of the fibers itself) checked...and Therapath does not include this as part of their services (they only check density). Johns Hopkins does...as does other major institutions. This is so important, especially if your biopsy was negative and you still don't have answers...but you still have symptoms.

Just a thought.
