Ive had biopsies done by both the oral surgeon and also my ENT. They normally remove a tiny piece of tissue, about as big as the roller ball in a pen. Its amazing something so tiny can be taken and processd.

Please, for your own good, relax. It will not change the results. It only makes you upset. I am speaking from experience. Ive had many biopsies done, to me its only another procedure. I cant waste my time worrying, I put it out of my mind and keep living my life.

Every so often a new person joins who is off the charts with their anxiety levels. Too many times it has turned out to be nothing. After being so upset for weeks, they silently dissappear when the results come back no cancer.

We have all been where you are and gotten thru it. We are all pulling for you smile
