My 'canker sore' remained the same. It took at least 3 months for it to grow into the size of a pencil eraser tip.

You will find out who you can count on when you have cancer. Close friends will dissappear while acquaintences will become the ones you depend on. Some people will avoid you while most wont have any idea what to say or do to help. IF it is cancer, make a list of everyone who offers help and tell them later you will need them.
