In a previous post, I cited your luck in having such a proactive dentist -- you're lucky, too, that the biopsy results were done by a lab your doctor is no doubt extremely familiar with. (There are stories on thse boards of people whose biopsy slides appeared OK until they got a second or third reading by a lab at a CCC, where the pathologists who see this stuff every day picked up something suspicious.) And you're lucky that your family doctor is so supportive and helpful.

Here's hoping that luck continues! smile

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
