Hello. I am a 38 year old, married woman, who recently, went to the dentist, for my regular 6 month cleaning. My dentist found a "tongue lesion", on the right side of my tongue. I did not even know it was there. He sent me to an oral surgeon, who removed the whole growth, and had it biopsied. The result is "squamous dysplasia, moderate", "dysplastic process noted at inked margin of resection", and "acute inflammation". My surgeon said, basically, that means in between having cancer, and not having cancer. I have to go back in 3 months, or sooner, if I notice any new growths. This has completely shocked my husband and myself. I do not smoke, and have not smoked, I do not chew tobacco, nor have I every tried it, I also do not drink. I may have a glass of wine, ocassionally. In short, I am not in any "risk" groups. I am here to try to learn, as much as I can about this condition, so my husband and I can be proactive, and prepared, for any eventuality. Thank you for listening.
