Hi Helen:

Wecome to OCF from Kim, the fiance of Dave, who is from your part of the world, Manchester UK. I'm also the owner of said pom-poms mentioned above and self-admit to panicking regularly as the folks here know well. I'm really glad you had a false alarm and will keep said pom poms raised until we hear back from you.

The good news I am happy to report is that although biopsies are horribly scary, there is life to reclaim if indeed oral cancer lurks. You already have one leg up being British ( I learned stoicism from Dave). We are getting married this summer and will be across the pond in the UK in July.

Hope to hear more from you and wishing you the best outcome on Monday.

Regards,

Kim
