Connie and everyone thank you so much for the info!

What do you mean CT/Pet scan. right now i just have a very small white lesion on my tongue, the dentist sent me to a peri who wanted to do a brush biopsy. I am trying to decide between that and a incisional biopsy. Also I have no insurance so I have to pay cash.

My Ideal would be an experienced ENT that has seen dozens of these and knows what to look for and could look at what i have and tell me
1) its not an issue and could do watchful waiting or
2) lets biopsy that now and can do it then and well with good lab access.

That is my idea outcome. Am i asking dumb/ wrong questions or being naive ?

all constructive comments and wisdom welcome,

Respectfully,

Izman
