Michele, I am sorry that I didn't make myself clear, non the less I surely do not mind answering your question.
The doctor did remove the ulcer at the same time that they did the biopsy. But He removed the whole thing surgically. The wound never healed up, it was done on February 12. about 2 & 1/2 months ago. In fact a small part of the wound where the ulcer was has broke open again,and again, so now they are going to send me to an oral surgeon to have another biopsy since it never healed. The ulcer has not come back, but just never healed. The doctor took of about 1/4th of my tongue. It is extremely painful, and the pain medicine does not touch it, although I continue to take it in hopes that this time it might actually slow the pain down some.
That is why I was wondering if a second biopsy may show something. I don't really understand the reason for another biopsy. I would like them to just sew the thing up so it will heal.
Thank you for your concern.
