Aaha! We pretty much received the same recommendations. That's reassuring.
Forgot to mention, my doc said the procedure is done under local anesthesia, and he requires Valtrex plus an antibiotic to be taken two days before the laser treatment. He also said bathe the lip in vinegar a few times day after the procedure.
The biospy is relatively quick and simple. It's the waiting for the results that's tough.
Like you, I'm focusing on the positive right now with fingers crossed. 🙂
Enjoy your trip Marsha.
We'll be in touch.

Again, thanks for the information. It’s interesting. Having it done under local anesthesia is better. What type of doctor is doing it?I’m wondering how patients take pills after. Place on the tongue & use a squirt bottle or put cup just to the upper lip? I have a few pills I need to take daily.
I think you will have good results with following the post-op process. You will get through it and prevent cancer. Sending positive energy your way. 😊
Thanks for the good wishes for my trip.
