Are you and the doctors already thinking cancer, and the biopsy is to be sure, or is it totally up in the air right now? When I had mine done, it was more a surgery to remove a sore that wouldn't heal, that happened to be biopsied while he removed it ... no thought of cancer at that point. (Or I was being dense, possibly. That's been known to happen.)
If the biopsies come out positive, at least you've already found this forum. This is the best place to be to, hands down, to find folks who've been in the same scary places and can share experiences with you.
I hope everything comes back just fine, but we're all here for you either way.
