thank you. Ya i find myself staying away from any meat that isn't ground. And it's sad cuz i used to love boneless skinless chicken and it always tastes dry now no matter how i cook it, and i used to love poached turkey breast, and i haven't tried that yet, but will for thanksgiving, so hopefully that wont be so bad.

My preliminary results from todays biopsies came back negative. they biopsied my tongue by my reconstruction seam, my lower jaw right below my bottom front teeth, left and right soft pallet and anterior floor of mouth. They also said that 90-95% of the final results match up with preliminary results. So I am happy and consider myself to be ok for now.

thank you for all the support and help.
