HI,
And thank you for your wisdom and experience:
Chgo
1) went to dentist > saw very small white lesion on side of tongue, said i might bite tongue at night, it might even have been there for years, but she sent me to peridontist to be safe >peri wanted to do brush biopsy to be safe.
2) Did research on BB and saw low efficacy. confronted Peri > he gave me pathosogisht at ORALDX who make BB, and said then get a incisional > gold standard. with a 95% efficacy - oral DX has not called back anyway.
Went to Fla to help my dad
Talked to My MD via phone she said to either do:
1) Watchful waiting. but oral cancer moves fast.
2) see an ENT. and get a combo first visit and biopsy and lab results.
Questions please:
1) it might be where i bite my tongue at night, and it hasn't changed.
2) A good ENT in central FLA that can do a exam lat biopsy and labs.
3) How much does this cost, as I have no dental ins so i have to pay cash.
4) also i speak on phone for living so how much hurt and not being able to talk will there be please.
Thank you so much for your valuable time
all constructive comments and wisdom appreciated.
Respectfully,
IZMAN
