My surgeon did the biopsy today. He said he would be surprised if it turned out to be "anything to worry about." He only took a small piece of gum but I am in a fair amount of pain. I didn't expect that. I'm just taking over the counter stuff but it's only just taking the edge off. Anyway, I should have results by Tuesday. I am trying to take comfort in my surgeon's words but I don't think I'll rest easy until I know for sure.

I'm so grateful to have this forum to come to. It's comforting to talk to people who know exactly what it feels like to wait for biopsy results. I hate that so many are facing recurrence right now. I hate this stupid cancer.
