Hi Chris,
I'm glad your dentist was quick to refer you to an oral surgeon. My dentist kept reassuring me that the lesion on my tongue was not cancer and said not to worry. 1 1/2 years later, I was diagnosed with stage 3 tongue cancer, if only it had been checked out when I first complained of it, I could have been spared aggressive treatment. I was neither a smoker or drinker. Please let us know the outcome.

Good Luck to you and Best Regards,
Pamela
