Dear Dr. Williams;
Thank you for your response. I understand that a time frame is difficult to
pin point. Looking back I can see that more information should have been
given. All I can say is "DUH"!!! The biopsy was taken from his upper, left
gums.
I will contact Doc and ask her about the immunohistochemical testing.
Sincerely,
Mary
