Debbie, do not let me scare you, but you have to understand this. The conversion to malignancy can happen at any time. As you are well aware, once that happens, it is deadly and moves quickly. The further along it is when that happens the more tissues have to be cut and removed. The oral surgeon has said he isn't up to speed on this. He doesn't know if it is going into full-blown cancer mode. Will it happen this week, next, or next month? No one knows. These thoughts should be waving red flags in front of you. Waiting for a consult with someone who doesn't know what's what (had to look it up in a book) isn't moving your husband towards a definitive treatment plan. Wouldn
