I am non smoker, glass of wine once a week kind of person (but my sugar intake is ridiculous .. love my gummy bears) I mention sugar because I am firm believer that sugar, wheat and dairy feed the hungry abnormal cells. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 dysplaysia on the right underside of tongue. To date I have had 4 excisional biopsies with 4-7 stitches each. The first 3 biopsies, the stitching popped out after 20 mins and had to be redone (horrifying lol). The 4th one held !!! But, I feel that this one is more painful .. ah well ..fingers crossed that this is my final one and that the results come back clear !! 2 weeks !! Have lots of info re what’s normal and not for this kind of surgery .. if anyone needs some comfort !! ️️
