Thanks for such a fast reply Joanna. And thanks for the encouragement. I'm a priest so I know the "Boss" is going to be there with me and I'm a stubborn Sicillian so (although concerned by the statistics)I was trying not to let them get the best of me. As the oral surgeon who did the biopsy told me, the sooner we move on this the better things are for me. I will beat this.

Again, thanks for the kind reply.
