Sorry no one has answered yet and Welcome. Try not to worry until the Bi-op comes back. I know that is easy for me to say as you wait, sometimes these things can be something else. I sure hope so in your case!
What is nice is that you say you have only had for 5 Weeks or so. That is good ! Especially if it does turn out to be something. That means you got what ever it might be early.
Try and relax until the results are in. Who knows it could be just a Fungi infection. Which you would need medicine for.
Take care, Diane

It's not cancer until the biopsy says so. I'll pray for you that it's not cancer, but if it is this is the place for all kinds of information. Welcome again.
