You CAN do this.

I don't know much, but I do know this.

You can do this.

I got to this road by who knows what ... no smoking, no alcohol, no known risk factors at all. But we all end up on these forums the same way ... we get that biopsy and get scared. And somehow we get through it.

Breathe deep and go eat your favorite ice cream. No known cancer factors there, and the cool at least helps the pain. smile
