Daniel,
You're welcome to vent here anytime you want. That dentists sounds like a real winner <hear the sarcasm?> We've all been there, whether awaiting an initial diagnosis or having follow-up scares. Unless you prefer insanity, you have to squelch the fear as much as possible and say "it's not something until I'm told it's something". Even if that news does come, we'll get you through treatment. Treatment isn't a Disney attraction, but it did change my life for the better. There are still positives to the most difficult challenges in our lives.
