I know that my biopsy was sent to an oral pathology lab in Dallas, from here in Louisiana.

I would certainly keep asking questions, and I might take myself and my records to M.D.Anderson in Houston for a second opinion. 6 months for a lesion in the mouth is too long for comfort, I would think. What explanation was given for the ulcerated area?
