Hi Gail,

I had a benign biopsy of my tongue in May 2002. What looked like scar tissue showed up in September. I showed it to the Dr and was instructed to keep an eye on it. It started to hurt in February, and was biopsied in March of this year. Pathology the second time showed SCC. I wish I had insisted on the biopsy last September.

It is great that your doctor is doing the testing. Stay on top of it!
