My mother had a surgical biopsy today on a possibly recurrence . We are concerned because from the beginning we had several opinions from different Oncologist . One of these doctors said from the beginning that my mother needed a surgical biopsy and that the first shot at surgery was the best shot of getting it all out. How ever the Oncologist we chose just did a biopsy right in his office. Now it seems like a recurrence is happening . It seems that all the cancer wasn't removed the first time . Could a difference in the biopsy have made a difference on getting all the cancer out of my mothers jaw. Excuse me if this is a silly question
