Well my most recent biopsy shows suspicious cells. I've had them before. but my ENT wants to get a new biopsy in the OR. When i'm on antibiotics my mouth feels pretty good. But every time i remotely "hurt" my gum from eating, i start getting pain around the gum area near where they removed my last cancer tumor almost 3 years ago (that whole area was affected by radiation about 10 years ago. I'm trying not to freak and I've never had a biopsy done in OR.

I have to get a MRI first then do the OR biopsy. Anyone had this done?
