In July 2002 I had a lesion removed from my tongue (carcinoma in situ).
Last week (Tuesday May 27) I had a lesion and margins removed from the same area. I have not received the results yet (results take longer in Canada). My pathologist said that the lesion bled when she examined it and that she didn't like the look of it.

I would like to get some feedback about what kind of follow up I need to be doing whether the results come back as carcinoma in situ or worse.

My first surgery was done in a dentistry department of a major hospital in Toronto Canada. I am a 31 year old female (non-smoker, non-drinker). I had an oral surgeon freeze my mouth, take out the lesion, put in a few stitches and I was out the door in forty minutes. Same thing this time around.

In December I pushed for a CT scan of my neck lymph nodes from an ENT and he said that the results were fine (I believe they were between 1 and 1.4).

I would appreciate any advice on any follow up I need to do if it comes back as carcinoma in situ or Stage 1 (do I need an MRI? what kind of doctor should I be seeing?)

If there are any Torontonians out there who can give me the names of doctors I would appreciate that as well. I have been treated at Mount Sinai Dentistry Department.

Thanks in advance.
