My husband's brush biopsy came back negative. His dentist says he will do oral exams once every six months for a while just to make sure.
So now I am down to only one oral cancer patient (my brother) who is having surgery on the 23rd of March.
Thanks for your help.

I was Dx b/cancer 9/2007. IDC Stage2 Grade2 2.4 cm 0/8 Nodes ER+ PR+ Her-2 Rad 33 no chemo.
