I'm not a doctor, of course, but I know if it's not bleeding - especially when you are trying to pop it, etc. - that's a good sign! When my ENT asked me if mine would bleed and I told him "yes" he said that wasn't a good sign and he then believed it to be a cancerous tumor (pre-biopsy results). Of course, upon examining it further he actually made mine bleed which only confirmed what I had told him.

Take a deep breath Michael and slowly exhale - my money is on it NOT being cancer but, then again like I said previously, only a doctor can tell you for sure.

Not back to those books and studying!!
