So glad to hear your biopsy came back negative for CA!
Will the biopsy results be available to find out if it is lichens planus? I go for a biopsy 6/2 and hope to find out conclusively what is in my mouth.

No rads, no chemo
I have oral lichens planus,
thrush,leukoplakia 2/20/08

Judging from the looks of the ulcer in the picture you posted, it doesn't look like Lichen Planus at all.
I would be curious to know what the oral surgeon has to say about the biopsy results.
