Good morning everyone. sorry i wasn't sure where to post this. well today is the the day i get my refferal to see an ent for a biopsy, with my insurance plan i need to be reffered to see a specialist i guess or he only does refferals. Not sure which really.

Two nights ago I told my best friend about my "growth" first words out of her mouth don't let them cut you it will spread if it is its cancer. Yesterday i told my mom, first thing she said was do not let them cut you. I've been researching but haven't found anything concrete saying yes or no. Should i just opt for a pet scan first to see if things look suspious?
is it true that a biopsy can make cancer spead?
