When I meant do the biopsy, I meant go in and take a piece of the tissue and send it out to pathology. As I re-read, that wasn't even an option.

It's really tough making these decisions, especially when your comfortable with your doctor. I only know that I couldn't wait that long with all that I've read about oral cancer. I don't think any surgery is unnecessary when you're dealing with a possible growth.

Sorry......I don't mean to be harping. It's easy for me to be a back seat driver. *smile*
