Welcome to OCF! Try your best to stay busy to keep your mind from worrying about "what if". At this point you dont know whats going on yet. It could be anything, not just oral cancer. By staying busy and focusing on positive things it will help pass the time until your appointment. If you havent already done so, call the oral surgeons office and ask to be put on a cancellation list so you may have a shot at moving your appointment up. Even if the oral surgeon does a biopsy right there during your first appointment (most dont), it would be another week before the final results are in. Its alot of waiting which is really difficult when you are worried.

Hope it turns out to be nothing serious! Good luck!!!
