I've done a little research on OCF regarding this combination of drugs. You may want to review posts by Gail Mac, or wait for her to see your question, as I believe she may have first-hand information which may be helpful to you. Stay in touch!

Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
