They biopsied 5 areas today. Lower jaw, anterior floor of mouth, right side of tongue right by my reconstruction seam, left side of soft pallet and right side of soft pallet.

preliminary results came back negative, and they say that 90-95% of the time final results match prelim. They also said they should know the pathology in about a week.

Thanks for the support everyone.
