Thanks. but question still not answered...
Jon- He sent me to ENT who said it was cancer, but did not biopsy.
Leslie- Can't afford to go to Shands (260+ miles) to get biopsy & wait for results. Will go if malignant. ( most likely )
Wayne- You may be right, but I have been clean & sober for almost 4 months, for the first time in 35, yes, 35 yrs. And I am enjoying it. I just escaped from HELL, and landed in another HELL. And I do not wan't to be in two HELLS at the same time. I'll take my pain meds when I need them. I need to think very, very clearly here....
Do you think this punch type biopsy is sufficiant,as described in my post? My DR explained the whole biopsy, procedure, how it must sit overnight, and be sliced by a magnatometer, then examined. He is an ex-pathologist. My concern is the peices seemed so small, My tongue bled in all 4 plcs, but did not need stitches.
Maybe I am just freaking out. But MY GUT instincts
are usually correct. I'm fighting 3 wars at the same.
