I am new to this everyone. I had a punch biopsy on a lesion in the floor of my mouth yesterday and waiting for the results tomorrow. I am so scared! I found this website while I was looking for information about the symptoms I have been having. I have had the lesion in my mouth for at least 9 months so I have no idea what stage I am if it turns out that this is in fact SCC (oropharyngeal) probably due to HPV. It is encouraging to see the support that is out there. My question is, can they tell what stage I am at just by the biopsy, or are there other tests I will have to go through first? Also, how soon will my treatment/surgery? start? Any help/info is appreciated.
