Shelley, thank you for the information on your husbands situation. It helps to understand what is going on in each of our members' treatments. The prayers come easier that way. I used to live in Calif., where is North Hills? I lived in the San Fernando Valley, Newbury Park, and Oxnard during the 60's through 80's. I used to work by the Kaiser hospital in Woodland Hills.

Randy, welcome to the site. Sorry you had to find us to help you understand this disease, but we are here to help. Will pray for a good outcome to the biopsy and it will show no cancer. Have you had this spot for long? Try not to worry. We have a saying on this board that its not cancer until the pathologist says it is, so don't worry about something that can be a simple infection, or scrape mark. If it turns out to be something, we are here to help as we have all walked that path.
