Hi Cryslyn-

OzMojo hit the nail on the head. It's not cancer until the biopsy results says it is, regardless of what any dentist or primary care doctor says.

Your worrying yourself silly at this point is very common, we all went through a certain amount of that when we first found out we MIGHT have cancer. While there is a ton of stuff on the internet about cancer, lots of it is confusing and can make you worry needlessly.

One of the things we tell all our new members who are waiting on results of the biopsy is to just cool out, go do something fun and try to relax (easier said than done). The results will be here soon enough and then knowing what they say (cancer positive or cancer negative) you can THEN start planning out what you should do next. Actually your doctor will tell you what you need to be doing next. We will be here every step of the way to help you understand it, and then get through it with your sanity intact.

If you just can't stand the suspense, start reading the web pages here on the OCF website. It will educate you in a hurry, albeit some of it might not pertain to your exact situation, because you don't know what that situation is yet.

take a deep breath, calm down, you will get through this just fine, regardless of whether it is, or it isn't.

Tony
