Hope its nothing! My experience was similar, except for the wider margin during biopsy. If it does turn out to be positive, you should probably get a second opinion from an ENT to make sure they took enough. I was told the protocol is 1 cm of clean tissue on all sides. My biopsy did get it all with clean margins, but I still had to go in and have a much larger area removed under a general, while they did frozen section pathology during surgery to confirm it was all clear. And on top of that, the tissue was sent out for post-surgical pathology to confirm it.
What part of WA are you in? I'm in King County on the Eastside.
Stage 1 SCC on tongue 3mm (7/1/14)
Biopsy had clean margins
Successful Surgery to remove more tissue and confirm wider margins (7/8/14)
Hoping I'm one of the lucky ones and this is just a small blip in my life, and just makes for a story of "how I spent my summer vacation" down the road.
