Thanks for the reply - I'm anxious to find out what is up with these cells - I wish I wasn't having to wait nearly 2 weeks to do so.
I'm certainly not wanting to "borrow trouble" and know that "it isn't anything until the pathology report says it is something," but this whole non healing ulceration seems very familiar. Way too familiar.
Thanks for your input on the VELscope and the suggestion to see an oral medicine specialist if it isn't cancer. I would like to have some definitive answers and get this thing healed up one way or another! It is starting to get pretty painful...
