This is my second post as I am new to the site. I am scheduled for a throat biopsy next week and I am very scared. I was not going to tell anyone that I had "suspicious hardening of the throat tissue", I did not want my family and friends to worry until I knew for sure what I was up against. But I told a few people who are close to me, my husband of course, my sisters and a few co-workers who have to cover for me when I'm out. And I had a good cry with my Husband over the weekend. I'm surprised how much better I feel, mayb its just sinking in, or maybe talking helps ... for now I am getting educated, by devouring the information on this site, and I am staying positive, by following your advice. Thanks, and I'll keep you posted. CMB

PS - How do I spell check my posts?
