[quote=boatswife]Hi everyone!
I just went back for my 4 week post op appointment and all my pathology reports were negative. What a relief for now.
The only problem I'm having right now is my lower teeth rubbing against my tongue. I don't think it's going to go away, but if it doesn't by my next follow up appointment he wants to do a biopsy (to make sure it's granulation tissue) and then laser the area.

I figured it would just be easier to update this thread.
The spot never went away and looks like a bunch of scar tissue now with granulation tissue? in the middle. We leave Monday for Seattle to have my 2nd follow up appointment and on Wednesday I should be getting that area biopsied and then he'll laser the area also.

I'm being positive that everything will be ok, but I don't think the fear ever goes away. "What if's" really suck! So if you would please keep me in your thoughts and prayers next week, I'd certainly appreciate it.

I hope everyone has a good week.
