Hi Marci,

I'm so happy to hear you are going for the biopsy...that makes me feel better, I've been thinking about you.

Here is a quick story about not questioning your doctor. My husband and I have gotten good at figuring how if a spot on my tongue is something to worry about over the years. There was a spot that we were concerned about, mainly because of how it felt to me. I insisted to my doc that I wanted it biopsied. She didn't feel it was warranted and wasn't going to do it. I told her it had to be done and would not take no for an answer. It was a good thing I did b/c it came back as severe dysplasia and she ended up doing my 4th partial glossectomy. When she saw the pathology she said she was happy we did it. (ok..so this wasn't a short story but worth it none the less)

Nobody wants to "that patient" (Donna I love Seinfeld and know that episode) but you have to be. Nobody cares about your health as much as you do and you MUST follow your instincts.

Thank you for letting us know your results either way. I hope everything is fine and you won't have to be posting here too long:)
