There are many different things a sore could be besides cancer. Is he being treated at a cancer center? What other tests were done? Its not possible to be able to tell how his recovery will be since we do not know all his info. Not all cancerous tumors hurt. My tumors (all 4 of them) did not hurt at all but I could feel something was there that wasnt right. His pain could be caused by the biopsy. It can take a few weeks to bounce back depending on how much tissue was taken.
Good luck to your boyfriend with tomorrow surgery!
