Just saw your other post. I had surgery on May 31st for a tongue lesion that would not heal. Turned out to be big enough that I had to stay overnight instead of just outpatient, which threw us for a loop. But it is healing well, and the path report gave a lot of details, so it is worth it. Just be more sensuble than I was and plan more recovery time! smile I had mush for a lot longer than I thought I would have to eat it. Now we have to choose my further treatment.
