Carol thanks as always. Just a little freaked out. The biopsy is of my right cheek. Thank you Christine. I just think I am more worried about my family. I will tell them them that I had some dental work. It just is CRAZY! Thank you Malka. I know that there is no evidence of genetic links but there just seems to be no true evidence of all cancers. I know that risk factors influence but both being non smokers, drinkers and anything else has me wondering. It seems like I hit a nerve with you Brian. I am sorry but when all I ever hear is "Did your brother smoke" well it kind of t's me off. He didn't have a hazardous job (well he was a cop ) As far as the doctor is concerned, I do pay well to have him do what needs to be done with my me and my family. The problem began a year ago and he has monitored the spot on my cheek for some time. He just feels it's time to find out what it is. It is what it is and there is nothing I can do. I know that I did not write for my comfort, although I feel that this wonderful site has given me so much these past few months. I just needed to vent because I have no brother to talk to anymore.
