Welcome to OCF! I hope you do not have a need for our assistance. Only thru a biopsy will you know for certain weather whats going on is cancerous. Hopefully not!

If you would like to read about OC, here is a link to the main OCF pages where you can learn all about OC, diagnosis, treatments, etc.

OCF main site, OC diagnosis

Try to keep yourself busy to help pass the time while waiting for the test results. Too often we jump to the wrong conclusion that whatever is going on is bad which only causes unneeded extra stress.

Stay positive and keep us posted.


PS... You probably already know this but, Dr Google isnt the best place for help online. Put in enough details and it will tell you anything, most of it untrue.
