Its just their policy so dont let that make you nervous. It usually take about a week for the results to come in so Im surprised they initially wanted you to wait 2 weeks to return.
Speaking as a former smoker who lost her jaw to OC, PLEASE (no matter what the results of the biopsy are) quit smoking permanently. Its NOT worth the risk to you and your family!
