oh and if they don't want to biopsy lesion on ur tongue, or even if they do, sometimes it's better to ask for a scan first, sometimes a scan can rule out the need of a biopsy, if the scan doesn't find positive, then no need for biopsy!! And a scan covers many areas!!
Glad you got a appt made with a oral surgeon! Make sure you tell them about ur worry with your nose as well!!
