My lymph node biopsy came back negative. I was told that it was 99% accurate. I had a bad feeling, and needed 100% so had it removed. The rest is history. Had I not questioned that 1%, I would not be here today. I was told that the needle "missed" the cancer. Find out if they can miss on the tongue...maybe have the total part in question removed? I was quite surprised when my diagnosis was changed. I am one very lucky person.
All the best,
Rob
