There have been many on here in their 30's and quite a few even younger, their 20's. The only way to tell is thru the biopsy so its good that you have gotten one. Sorry but I am not familiar with many specific medical test names so I do not know about the toludine blue test. I know waiting is difficult and you are worried but do your very best to stay busy so your mind doesnt dwell on the "what if's". At this point you dont need the added stress to hinder your healing. Hang in there, we are all behind you rooting for a negative test.
