Please get a biopsy as soon as possible. Like some of the other posters mentioned, the biopsy is not a big deal at all. They just take tiny little pieces.
You are not a wimp! It's perfectly natural to be scared. Just take it one step at a time. The first thing to do is to get some answers about what's going on in your mouth. Once you know what you're dealing with you can make a plan and you won't feel so helpless.
