Colleen said it best, it's not cancer until your medical professional says it is (she's so smart!). Relax, enjoy your holidays and put it the furthest from your mind until you get your results back. This is easier said then done but look at this time as a time to realize how fragile and short life is...so go do the things you want to do and love on the people you love.

1) Get off the tobacco products NOW
2) Stop drinking NOW

If it is cancer, it doesn't mean it's an automatic death sentence. Hell I went in with a tooth ache and came out with stage 4 cancer....almost 2 years later I'm still breathin, lovin on my wife and kids and have just started my own company.
