Thank you for your reply!

I am meeting the oncologist for the first time tomorrow, so I'm not sure even what the approach is. However, the ENT oncology ward at the hospital I will be a patient at is highly rated.

I have had this spot on my tongue for quite some time and has been monitored. I had a biopsy in July of 2018 which was screened for cancer... none was present in the biopsy. I had another biopsy last month (10 months later) and that one did show cancer. Thank you for listening.
