Hi Minniea,

I can't tell if you are more upset at your dentist for being thorough and not overly upsetting? Or are you more upset at your oral surgeon for not doing the Biopsy?

You have a history of cancer and therefore being cautious without getting overly excited is probably wise.

Should he have told you of his concern? perhaps. But the fact that he paid close attention to a POSSIBLE problem and passed that concern along to the next DOC is a good thing. It means you are getting pretty good care (in my opinion)

If you can, thank them both for looking out for you. smile And then go kick the shin of some really bad dude. laugh
