It isn't cancer until a biopsy says it is, but I'd hate to be wrong in this case...Dr's are fallible and this one sounds like he needs an good smack upside the head. He doesn't "think" it's cancer, I pray he's right but I wouldn't trust his opinion without a biopsy.
Be calm and know...it's not cancer until a biopsy says it is.
