Welcome to OCF! Our website's online public forum is for anyone/everyone who is a patient/survivor or caregiver to someone with oral cancer (OC). We have plenty of new members who havent been diagnosed with OC, other new members may have just discovered they have a few symptoms, some who are in the middle of OC treatments and also caregivers as well as those who have already been thru treatments and are now survivors. No, we do not have a dedicated section for biopsies. The best place for any new member to make their first opening post is the Introduce Yourself section.

Its always a scary time waiting for test results. Waiting is the WORST!!! The best thing you can do is to stay super busy to keep your mind focused on other things. Watching a movie with a good plot, reading a book, start a new hobby, etc are all positive ways to help make passing the time easier. I used to stand up and go clean out my closets every time I found myself "going there". By limiting how much time I spent on counter-productive worrying, I became better at it. By the time the results came back, all my closets were clean and the dressers drawers were all redone. Hopefully you have things to keep you busy and make the time passing easier. Please let us know what your biopsy results are. My fingers are crossed it comes back negative for anything serious.

Best wishes with everything!!!
