Congratulations, with a word of caution.

Please ensure that the doctor doing your biopsy, and the people who did the pathology analysis and report, are experienced in detecting cancer.

Six years prior to my initial diagnosis, I noticed a lump under my right jaw-bone, not far from the joint. I went at once to my family doc and asked his what the story was. He didn't know, so he sent me to a prominent ENT in town for a needle biopsy.

Neither the ENT nor the people doing the pathological analysis had significant experience with detecting cancer, and 6 years later, I had the lump removed surgically. Naturally, the surgeon sent the lump for analysis, and the analysis was done at the same lab as the first. Fortunately, the surgeon was not satisfied and sent it out for a second opinion and the cancer was found.

In the six year gap, it had become stage IV, and later IVc (distant metastasis); the later being the one you don't want as it's incurable.
