You have learned a very valuable lesson very early in this game....IF IT'S TO BE, IT'S UP TO ME! Bravo to you for being stubborn and getting the answers you needed...some people would have given up and let things take their course...a bad option if you are dealing with oral cancer.
The reason you feel better is that you took control. During a scary time, it is hard to do. You just want someone to fix it for you.
Good luck in the next few weeks. We will keep our fingers crossed for good news.
