"OCF Down Under" Patient Advocate (1000+ posts) Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,301 | As Christine says you have been down this road so many times. Oral surgeon last time asked me if I wanted a biopsy as I was the one worried about an area of the tongue near my flap. I always ask him to go ahead because the sooner it is done and pronounced clear the sooner I can stop worrying. I am hoping that it will be the same in your case. Please post when you know but in the meantime a big {{{{hug}}} from me too. Gabriele
