hi, folks

i've been poked and scanned, and my dr's opinion is base-of-the-tongue cancer. due to have a biopsy in 2 weeks. my dad died of cancer 2 yrs ago, and my younger brother is battling colon cancer now. i'm so scared! there's an ugly white mass at the base of my tongue and i have to wait two weeks to even get a biopsy so i can know whether to worry or forget about it. it hurts to swallow because the muscles in my neck are "sore", but i have no lumps i (or my dr) can feel. somebody tell me something good about this horrible "waiting time."
