Hi Emma

I am sure it is normal procedure to get results in an appointme  whether neg or pos.

Try not to pre empt what your result will be,you will just worry yourself into a right state over the next 6days. The days before and following a biopsy are the worst for anyone the waiting feels like forever.

We are never far away if you need to chat or ask anything.

Stay positive.

Take care and best wishes for a good result xx

Thank you. I think I'm quite low at the moment and since the biopsy I have had a debilitating attack of shingles to my face and eye, the first ever. I will just wait and see and try to remain positive, which i usually am. My friend recently had her negative biopsy result via post from the same hospital and so I think that scared me a little.

Hi Emma

Yes I can understand your worry.

Think of it this way. One consultant prefers to post neg results another consultant prefers to see his patient in person to reasure them for one thing.

I always tell people in your position a stat that 90 out of 100 oral biopsies are benign. There are so many non cancerous things that happen in mouth.

Another little pearl to tell yourself is that: its not cancer till they say it is!

No matter the outcome there are some on here that have been there like myself and are always around if you need support at any time. Some great folks on here.

Take care and try not to get down low.xx

Thank you, you are right and i will find my positivity again tomorrow.
