It's best to start your own post so that responders can devote their sole attention to your questions.
That said, I would not hesitate to get another opinion ASAP. Take your test results and slides to the nearest CCC (Comprehensive Cancer Center) and have them evaluate them and advise you. I would not wait 3 months on anyone's opinion if there is the possibility of oral cancer.
Good luck and keep us informed.
