Dysplasia suspicious cells after biopsy

Hi 

I've just seen my consultant after they had there M T D meeting and he as informed me i now need to have a pet scan and another biopsy 

The first biopsy as explained came back with suspicious cells ( what are suspicious cells? Does it mean cancer?)

He did explain that he needed to get a second biopsy from a different part of the growth (would this make a difference ?)

From me seeing him on Thursday I've already been booked in for my pet scan Tuesday and second biopsy on Thursday i know this is fast but do i need to be worried on how quick they've booked me in (not complaining) really anxious 

The growth in my throat sitting just behind my voice box is the size of a two pence piece and my swallowing is sometimes difficult can anybody relate to this and give me some words of hope

Thankyou
