Brian,

Many thanks again for your thoughtful feedback.

I am especially grateful that you completely covered the pros and cons of OMS vs ENT, in addition to the expected laser ablation healing time. Your resourcefulness along with knowledge is very much appreciated. I will make sure to ask the OMS regarding how assuring the laser ablation will result in complete elimination of the mild atypical lesion on the bottom right tongue.

My husband and I have been married for three decades. I have to exit the work force at a younger age, as I suffer from many chronic illnesses with prospective pending surgeries – none of which is contributed by diet, life style, or environmental factor. Suffice it to say, he’s been taking great care of me both physically and mentally. This oral lesion diagnosis is his first negative health event.

Being foreign-born and a transplant living in U.S.A. for most of my adult life, I find it difficult to navigate the healthcare system on the stateside. I know several MD’s as well as the former health insurance executive, Wendell Potter are very frustrated in this regard. Exhausted, overwhelmed and depressed that I am having to deal with my own, my husband’s as well as my dear friend’s healthcare and access.

I am very glad to stumble across this forum. I appreciate all the volunteer work and efforts behind the scene. I am sorry to hear the on-going need for volunteer support. In light of current situations, many people are so over-extended and burned out from working remotely.

I hope my response reaches you in good spirits and good health. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. I will certainly report back with any new findings.
