Robbie,

What Senator13 told you is correct. It is better not to remove the whole thing. In my case, the scc was so small, that the biopsy actually did remove the whole thing. When I went to the head and neck surgeon, he said that he wished that he had done the biosy, as there were no signs left of the scc. However, during the partial glossectomy, he made wide enough margins around the area where the tumor had been to be assured that there were clear margins. The pathology report confirmed this.

But, all of this hopefully will not pertain to you.
