Trese, if I see correctly, you are in the Allentown area? Where I went is probably 45 minutes to an hour from you. The one is Chief of Oral Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania who spends some time in the office in Radnor. The other is a head and neck surgeon (ENT) there, who basically is in the next suite. They both spent a lot of time with me and answered my questions, but said they saw no reason to do a biopsy because they saw nothing troubling to them.

I am still nervous, because we sound alike, but I am just going to go back for checkups (dentist then three months later, oral surgeon, then three months later dentist, etc. so I am always seeing someone) unless I see an issue in the meantime that seems like a troubling change.
