I just wanted to stop by and say thanks to those of you who took the time and tried to reassure me. As I am sure you understand, waiting for the results to see if you have a life threatening condition can be nerve-wracking. I tried to forget it, but I don�t do well with the unknown. I would rather know what I am dealing with.

I met with the oral surgeon today, for a follow up, to see how I was healing. The pathology report came in and it was sitting right there. The assistant said she was not allowed to tell me the results. I waited five minutes�. No doc. Eight minutes� No doc. Finally I thought, screw this and got up, opened the envelop and read the results myself before he came in. It stated some stuff, which I had no idea what it meant, but at the bottom the report said �No evidence of malignancy�

Diagnosis was a mucocele. He said the report stated there was no minor salivary gland found in the tissue or something like that, so it may grow back, but who cares? I am just so relieved.

I wanted to come back here to say thanks for being part of this forum and welcoming scared people, like myself. It says a lot about your character to try and help someone else, when you have your own issues to deal with. I don�t know if I could be so gracious.

I will continue to keep you in my prayers. Thanks
