rdb,

I am hoping it turns out benign!!! And if it does, please do not make MY mistake. The first time I had a biopsy, it was benign, but the doc wanted to keep an eye on it...so he had me coming back every few months to look it over. I went on like this almost a year, and then I missed an appointment because I was on vacation. Well...I never did reschedule it and thought "what the hey?? It has been benign for over a year, and actually I know I had this in my mouth a good deal longer than that. So no big deal'. No big deal indeed... it turned INTO cancer, and they caught it at stage II...but the point is, had I continued having them check the thing out, it might not have ever gotten past the first stage. So what I am saying...just stay on top of it, ok?
