Hey all! I am shaking as I write this. I have no idea where all of you get your courage from! I have a cheek biopsy with an ENT scheduled for Friday. It has taken me months to get to this appointment as initially I was told the white spots in my mouth were from being anxious and biting. They wouldn’t go away & I started having some some ear pain so After months my ENT suggested a biopsy. I’ve waited Another full month for it. I keep trying to stay positive but I’m starting to really lose it. Mostly because I have 2 young special needs children that rely on me and a very limited support system.

I am highly uneducated when it comes to cancer & treatments. I’m also a highly anxious person on a normal day. I read the intro post about getting more opinions and the cost of cancer care and I feel paralyzed. I don’t how I can afford care or where to even begin to find the proper care team. Where can I find this information?!

Please send positive vibes, prayers and thoughts my way as I await the biopsy and results. I desperately need to be able to find some courage and this is only the beginning of what could be a very long, lonely and scary road. Thanks!
