Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. I am going to get a second opinion. I was just going over my biopsy results and I do not think they have a true handle on what it could be so they are calling it Dysplasia, which is good. They could do one of those lets wait and see what it is is but they want to go in and remove all of it. I like the proactive approach. I have Kaiser so financially it is a better idea to go to one of their hospitals and see and ENT or Oral Surgeon. I will keep everyone posted. I think as long as I keep on this I will be okay. Thank you for all of your concern and advice. I really appreciate it.
