@di341, apologies for the late reply. I'm tagging @marshaj and @mizlynnie join me in welcoming you.
Di, what treatment, if any, is being recommended for you at this point?
Marsha and Lynn, any updates?

Nothing but the Flurouracil at the moment.

I have not had a lower lip biopsy but I did do the 2 week Flurouracil treatment.
It was not pleasant, but is a good treatment.
My lip is still healing and my doctor said that I will probably have to repeat it some time later this year. I'm always keeping an eye out on my lower lip for anything that looks like squamous cell. I have 4-month follow-ups. Also, I just had 2 biopsies (arm/leg) that came back pre-melanoma, so I am going to have to have those very small moles removed with stitches. Keep getting skin checks and following the treatment protocol, as well as looking for any changes on your lip. Please let us know what your recommended treatment is after the biopsy.
