Especially the first one - asking for the oral surgeon to take a look and grab that biopsy. Even though many more dentists are cancer aware, far too many gloss over cases just like yours. Wonderful outcome as well.
btw - I had worrisome nodules showing on my lungs too. A scan at 8 month from diagnosis showed they were gone and my one year post tx scan shows nothing so final sigh of relief on that chapter. Good luck, Don
