Donna, Sometimes there is a sampling error. This means that the abnormal cells weren't in the area where the tissues were biopsied. Ask your doctor how many biopsies were taken. They should do at least 4 (east, west, north, south). And then sometimes another 4 below those and etc. depending on how much an area is suspected. With conflicting reports such as yours I would think they would want to be extra careful.
