I might be one of the scary cats for surgery as well. Im giving a lot of thought to it. Especially biopsy part of it.

So my story starts somehow like this. I was having lunch with my family in what seemed to be a peaceful, tranquil, lunch and suddenly I bite hard on my lip and discovered a little bump on my lip. I had the habit of bitting my lips at night while sleeping. So I started researching on bump on my lower lip. All of this cancer sites appeared. I Mean Im truly a hypochondriac so oh my jesus! I drove my mother and sister insane for about 5 days. After quite a while I went to see a dentist and she recommended for me to see an oral surgeon. Of course since she was part of a big dental company she insisted on me having it removed. I mean she couldn't be any meaner. I mean after that I remembered I had seen your site. and so I went to see a friend of ours who is also a dentist. she said it was definitely a mucocele. she said to leave it alone and it might go away on its own. She said it will be fine if I stopped touching it. However if it didn't go away I could just have it removed and do a biopsy just as precaution. Im terrified of surgery. Its my 20th b-day and Im having to deal with a stupid mucocele. I need advice Im so sad and depressed over this darn thing. I mean just the idea of surgery and biopsy sicks me out.
