I'm so glad to hear that your biopsy was negative! I am also glad to hear that you acted as your own advocate and got the biopsy. NO ONE can look at tissue with the naked eye and say for sure that it's nothing until they get a slide under the microscope. When I had my biospy, the oral surgeon said it could be a list of 20 things and cancer was at the bottom of the list, but he wanted to be safe and rule out cancer. I didn't fit the profile, but it was cancer. Your instinct is the first thing you should follow and I'm so glad you came here to demonstrate that to others. Good luck and good health!
With care,
Kerri
