Oral surgeon last time asked me if I wanted a biopsy as I was the one worried about an area of the tongue near my flap.I always ask him to go ahead because the sooner it is done and pronounced clear the sooner I can stop worrying.
 I am hoping that it will be the same in your case.
 Please post when you know but in the meantime a big {{{{hug}}} from me too.
