Im glad its not a recurrence and is dysplasia. I am sorry that you have anything wrong that is causing you to go thru any treatment, but its better to be dysplasia than cancer. There are a couple people here who had numerous surgeries to remove their dysplasia. Even though its not SCC, a second opinion is a good idea. I wish you the very best of luck with whatever road you choose.
