Thank you for the information. I'm going to investigate the options. I understand what you say about the drive vs. cancer, however with winter fast approaching I do need to consider it. I think Boston would definitely be too far, especially if I needed to make multiple trips.

I called the dentist today to see if they had any news and to ask where the biopsy had been sent. They are going to chase the results, and from the discussion it sounds like once they have the biopsy results they plan to refer me to a specialist, so having an idea of which one I'd prefer will be helpful. They seemed to say that when they refer me they will send the x-rays they took a month ago so I'm assuming that they would be helpful in speeding things up, but I'm not sure? When I went for the biopsy the dentist looked at the x-rays and said there was no sign of anything shown on them but I'm guessing I need something more recent?
