Hi all,

I went for my follow appointment and my doc said it is worse than she thought. The pathology came back as severe dysplasia but the front margin is not clear. Also, she biopssied a small area on my left cheek (my cancer is the right of my tongue) and that was moderate dysplasia. Needless to say I am scared and not happy with these results. Also on my pathology report it says Keratinizing as an adjective. What does this mean? I was really hoping to hear the margins are clear..it's healing well and I'll see you in 2 months. I'm so mad and disapointed. Does anyone have words of wisdom?
