Hi, Guess what ,they lie right? Be glad they did that, my first biopsy was negative for cancer.The Oral surgeon called me at work to tell me that,he said I want a second biopsy to be sure, sometimes squamous cell likes to hide inside another growth.I did not want to do it and he would not take no for an answer. Second test positive, he made a deep cut for this one, it was so deep when the Doctors were looking at me for the tumor board they kept saying whats that? Oh, second biopsy, and shaking their heads like ya right would have to be to find it. By the way , this ended up being Stage 4. So even though you think he took a lot, it really isn't, and you will be sure one way or another. Good luck to you. gnelson
