I'm sorry that Abbie is having this issue. I suggest you go for the biopsy if you want to find out what is wrong and how to treat her appropriately. If you don't do it, then she may pass from something easily treatable. She will only be in pain a short while and there are very good pain medications she can take post-biopsy that will keep her comfortable.
