I understand your anxiety. Trust me, we all get it. Again, I am not a doctor but even if it was cancer and that is the extent of it, it should be pretty standard to remove at this point.
There is no way right now to help determine if it is cancer. The only way is for a medical professional to examine you and possibly perform a biopsy to make an assessment. The ONLY certain way oral cancers are determined is via a biopsy so no matter what you read or get responses here are not going to get you that answer.
So, back to anxiety. We know the feeling. What you have to try to do is to slow down the mind from going wild with the what ifs. You can totally freak yourself out, even having your funeral planned if you don't get control over your anxiety.
Take one day at a time. Remember, even if it is cancer, a couple days is not going to change anything in terms of diagnosis or treatment or outcomes.
It is much the same as driving down the road thinking every oncoming car is going to swerve over and kill you in a head on collision. You learn to manage these possibilities. You need to do the same with the little white dot being just another well little white dot. It is not going to kill you and almost with certainly it is not cancer.
Lastly, another standard saying around here is it is NOT cancer unless PROVEN.
Hang in there and do the best to remain convinced it is NOT cancer and one day at a time until you see the doctor/dentist.
