You're right! Waiting sucks. You have great advice above. There could be a lot of reasons that you are having to wait. Once when my son and I were waiting for results for him and it was taking way longer that it should - was only because of his hospital had to get results from a different hospital. So keep calling, find out if there is an ENT there who specializes in Oral Cancer. It's probably not anything serious but you should let them know how stressful the waiting is. Cry a little if you have to. If there is a website for the hospital the doctor is associated with, you could look up information about the doctor or who has Oral Cancer as a specialty. Let us know what happens.
