Thanks for the info Kelly--its a huge help. They got me in to see the ENT tomorrow; I was told to expect the biopsy. (the dentist took a picture and sent it to the ENT) The way you described it was similar to the way it was explained to me this morning. Results would take abt 5-7 days but he's seeing me tomorrow and putting a 'STAT' on the results so he can get them before the weekend.

EzJim--you're no wimp--lol. Anyone who goes thru what you did and can come out with a smile and sense of humor is a hero in my book. Unfortunately I know all too well the perils of this disease and what it can do (my father). I don't let that cloud my emotions. And everyone is different. It's all good. This may very well be a pocket of gunk. Hopefully Ill know for sure by the weekend.
