He will get the results of the brush biopsy in 4-5 days. I am hoping for the best and very glad that our dentist is one of the few who do oral exams as part of his regular practice. The dentist stayed late in his office to do the biopsy. He is a good guy.

My brother and my husband both did tours in Viet Nam. So Agent Orange is an issue. If my DH's result comes back positive, I will be caring for two men with oral cancer at the same time. Life could get very interesting.
