MrStressed88 - hard to say if that would have been the right thing or not. Your lesion is many times larger than mine, since mine was only 3 mm total - just a tiny little thing. Having an oral surgeon remove a dime-sized lesion in his office under a local sounds pretty scary to me!
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.
