Hoping and praying the biopsy is negative. It could be scar tissue, lets hope so anyway. Your doc is extreemly fast if you will get the results Fri. Most biopsies take a week for the results. Radiation does not help cancer return, it kills everything in its path. If one tiny cell has hidden and was not hit then it will regrow.
Try your very best to stay busy and not let cancer steal away your time. I know how difficult that is but its in your best interest. Its not cancer til they say it is. Go out and live your life.
