Did they remove all the severe dysplasia along with the ulcer? My first excision after biopsy was to remove carcinoma in situ but they didn't get all the severe dysplasia so I had to go back in a few months later for a more extensive excision (partial glossectomy but not neck dissection as PET scan was clear).

Glad the initial results look promising but as everyone else has said- keep an eye on it! Good luck!!
