I had two excisional biopsies done over a week ago and was very relieved when told that there was no cancer in either lesion.

The first biopsy was taken from behind my rear left molar where I have an area of leukoplakia. THis biopsy showed moderate and severe dysplasia with mild dysplasia in the margins.

The second biopsy was of an area of ulceration on the right side of my tongue (opposite to where a small SCC was removed in March). This showed moderate dysplasia and there was also mild dysplasia in the margins.

My ENT tells me that I have 'unstable' mucosa and that I will have to be closely monitored for the rest of my life. He is not proposing any further treatment for these current lesions. I should have asked him more questions because I do not know what to make of these results. Initially I was very relieved but now I am not so sure. Has anyone else had these types of results with biopsies? Should I be concerned about widespread dysplasia?
