Greetings everyone - not sure I have the posting things figured out but here goes.

I had a biopsy today of gum behind back lower molar. I'm not a patient person and now the wait begins. UGH!!

Welcome to our group, journey. I agree... waiting is the worst!!! Hopefully your biopsy will come back as nothing serious. If it would be positive for cancer, you have found the very best place for info and support. We'll help you get thru your treatments and recovery as easy as possible.

Make sure you come back to give us an update when you get your results. Good luck!!!

Christine - I want to tell you how amazing I think you are. Not only from your experience with OC but from the obvious knowledge, empathy and compassion you possess and so kindly share with others. I have been browsing this site for the last few weeks and some of your posts have brought me to tears.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that believes Christine ROCKS!!

You are too kind, Journey!!!

Im here to help those who need it. Some people come here lost and afraid, at the lowest points in their lives where they have no hope left. We are all in this together. Im very fortunate to have survived 3 rounds of OC is 3 years. In the time Ive been part of this forum, Ive picked up alot of info. I try to share what Ive learned to help make things easier for new patients. Hopefully this will not be you and this was just a scare you have been thru.

Hope you go out and make the most of today and every day smile Staying busy helps make passing the time easier.
