What do you think of when you hear the word tumour?

I panic and think of cancer.

Last month Blair went to the dentist and the doc found a lump on his upper jaw (actually we knew it was there, it was starting to separate his teeth and was getting quite large). He was referred to an oral specialist and last week we were told that Blair has a tumour. I am having a very hard time concentrating on anything right now, especially school. All I can think about is "oh god, please let it be benign!"

Today Blair went in for his biopsy. Now we have to wait........ 3 effin weeks!! they won't even touch it till they get the results back. He now has 4 stitches and a very sore jaw. Apparently the tumour is attached to the bone and there have been talks of getting a metal plate in his mouth blah, blah, blah, I don't care what they have to do, just get it out of there!

I am scared to death. Needless to say I am not sleeping well and I am a zitty mess.
