What results are you waiting for? Have you had a biopsy done on each white patch? If you had a biopsy taken, it should take about a week to get the results. Please call the doctor who did the results and see whats holding them up. Sometimes test results come in and just sit there and get filed in a chart wihtout ever notifying the patient. Ive had that happen before. Usually an ENT or oral surgeon does the biopsy. How long has this been there? You could have any number of mouth problems going on, not necessarily cancer. You posted this in the recurrance section, have you had previous cancer?

Yes, it is possible to have 2 completely seperate cancers going at the same time. It happened to me the first time I was sick. The once spot looked like a canker sore on the inside of my left cheek and the second spot was up behind my top left molar. They were completly independant of each other, one was poorly differentiated and the other was well differentiated, both areas were Stage 1.

Being a single parent isnt easy. Ive raised my children by myself without the benefit of them having an active father or even grandparents around. Its also a very rewarding experience seeing tiny babies turn into wondering children and then into independant adults.

Try not to worry so much. Its hard to do but its so much more productive keeping yourself busy. Worrying and crying never changed a test result, it just got you upset. Im glad you have found OCF to help ease your mind.
