I did go to the oral surgeon on Monday and he said I was fine and didn't need another biopsy. The sore place in my mouth has healed and he said that there's nothing to do a biopsy of. I'm going to accept what he says and get on with my life, unless of course my mouth gets sore again, then I'll have to get it checked out again.
