OMG, I can't believe that I am here again. I always thought that I had beaten this thing. Now I am being told that I have high grade dysplasia on the side of my tongue that they didn't remove the first time. I have done a CT scan and an MRI in the last couple of weeks and it really doesn't show me enough to warranty surgery again. I told them that I don't have much left to give them. My question now is, How long should I wait? I do have some pain in that area but its nothing like I experienced the first time around. Just don't know what to do or expect at this point.
