Clearly you are : Really nervous about this. Take in a slow, deep breath. Don't jump to conclusions. You may cause yourself unnecessary emotional anguish as your fret about all the "what if's". I would see what the biopsy report shows. Your doctor will be able to explain it to your further. Take care.

Prob routine : We alway send out the hemorrhoids to be looked at by the pathologist "biopsied". It prob doesn't mean much but u do need to follow up w ur surgeon and they will give the results in person.
