How hard was it to do the biopsy? The ENT we saw today said it would be a nightmare for Kevin because of the spot being in the same place as before. He wants to do an MRI before a biopsy, but our mo has a differing opinion and says we should have the biopsy no matter what. So confusing. We were going to just say do the biopsy but when I asked if we could do one no matter what, he actually told me he wouldn't recommend it for previous stated reason...radiation scarring. DId they make a mess of your tongue?
