I tend to agree with Gary on this one. You could rest fairly easy knowing that several trained eyes have seen this thing and are not at all concerned. I would carry on without further worry and set up a followup visit regularly for a while.

There are MANY things that happen inside the mouth that are NOT cancer. While the numbers diagnosed with oral cancer are too high (30,000) per year, The odds are in your favor that you do not have cancer. Try to move this to a "back burner" in your mind.

If you can't live with this on the back burner then explain that to the doctors; that you really want a biopsy for YOUR peace of mind. While a biopsy is not a huge deal, I would not want one every month just for fun.

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
