Thanks for your responses. They really helped. Last night was not a good night. I scoured the internet and now have convinced myself the only thing it could be is cancer. That's really what I do with most things. Assume the worst and then I'm usually pleasantly surprised. Probably not the best approach with this though. I'm working on keeping myself busy for the next 2 weeks or so.

I'm up in the DFW area. Thanks for letting me know about the walk run in San Antonio. I may look in to making it down there.

And I will definitely be making sure the oral surgeon does the biopsy. Thanks for pushing me to make sure that's a priority for the surgeon.
