OK,

I have an appointment with the ENT today at 3:00 PM. I'll push for a punch biopsy if he doesn't go there first.

I am mostly worried because this thing looks so ugly. If it's cancer, its very aggressive given the time line. I have had a few mild fevers over the past week so that points to infection. I can go on and on like this for pages as we all know. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I know far too much for someone who is going to have to wait around even if it's only until this afternoon.

If he takes the biopsy, it will be another few days of pins and needles.

Wish me luck (I'm trembling scared).
