The visit to the oral surgeon went well. He said that he didn't think that my ulcer looked or felt like cancer, but that he also didn't have an explanation for what else it might be. He went ahead and did an incisional (I believe) biopsy removing the lesion and some of the surrounding swollen tissue.

It was a quick, ten minute procedure but I wasn't expecting him to do it immediately so I didn't eat before I went frown. I was told the results will take about a week to come in and I have an appointment on 2/20 to discuss the results. They said if the results are in sooner they will try to get me in sooner.
