Anybody have any experience with this? I had an Dr. appt today and he took note of a red area at the back of my tongue. He has seen it before and wasn't concerned. Said it didn't look or feel like cancer. Today he said that it could be dysplasia and if it's still there in a month he will biopsy it. Regardless, I have a PET Wednesday so I don't have to sweat it for a month but I was curious if anyone had had a similar experience, did it turn to cancer etc... Do they remove it or just keep an eye on it???

Thanks,
George
