This site has all the latest factual information so you don't have to read scary stuff on the internet that may not be accurate. This way you will be able to prepare your questions for the doctor (or for us here) when you get your results on Thursday. Try not to let the negative thoughts get to you. Just give them a time limit like maybe 4-5 minutes and the next time they attack, shorten the time. And substitute some positives that you have already done like getting yourself to the doctor for a biopsy and the fact that it just may be nothing serious. Also, you mention a "sore spot" which seems to me like you caught this early, which is better than waiting and putting off taking care of it. Let us know what happens on Thursday.
