Work with your doc: The good news is that no one saw cancer cells on the biopsy. Lupus or TB are both serious illnesses, but can be treated. Your physician will be able to complete testing to sort out the rest of the diagnosis with blood work.If she is unhappy with the pathologists reading, she cn have it sent to a referal center for another look.
