Thanks for the responses. I finally had my biopsy Tuesday, but I don't have the results yet, he said they might be in tomorrow or early next week.

I'm freakin' out a little bit over here. He said it didn't look like cancer or a papilloma... but I think he just doesn't think so cuz it's not that common to get cancer at my age and it's supposedly very rare to get HPV in your throat.. but he doesn't know strange and rare things tend to happen to me.

I should be taking a nap right now while the baby sleeps instead of worrying... I conveniently developed a cold a day before my biopsy and so they are just worsening each other... it's really not that bad though, I've had sore throats worse than this.

My uvula looks so weird right now... looks like a slash where they pulled the thing out and white tissue around it. I hope the doctor is right and it's just a benign growth, but I really doubt it, I will be shocked if that's all it is. And isn't that just as rare at 26? I've never heard of anyone I know developing this... I don't think I'll be able to deal if it's cancer. You guys are so strong, I am so weak... I almost chickened out of the biopsy! I was in there shaking, almost had a panic attack... how would I handle REAL surgery and chemo and all that?!
