Dr App. Dr. stated "might" be several different things, said it looked suspicious as did other areas on the mouth. Said he wanted to biopsy 2 areas. Took almost all of the warty looking growth but left several of the seedy looking segments behind. I looked when I returned home and there were only 5 noticeable bits, in the 12 hrs since the biopsy, it has continued to grow and is now large enough that i am not able to count the many little structures, AND there is one(several?) on my lower lip that is/are about 1/4th" that was/were not noticeable during my exam.
Not sure why Dr did not do second biopsy or if/when he plans to do so. set appt for 10 day follow up, I asked how much the follow up would be and the receptionist said she could not tell me because she did not yet know if the follow up would be a regular OV or if a surgical follow up. I was too dumbfounded to form a coherent thought, did not want to appear a total anxiety driven nut case , so I did not ask for clarification.
I read some more about the different types of HPV that can affect the head neck and mouth and really am scared. I did not think to mention to the DR that prior to the lesion showing up in my mouth that the few days leading up to it, I thought I was coming down with the flu and had been having a blocked feeling in my upper chest and neck a bit like choking or gagging that makes it feel like I can't quite get my breath. of course now I am feeling it still but I am telling myself it is anxiety, but I also worry that maybe there are more growths down in my throat maybe the esophagus. as fast as this is growing, I am worry about silly things like it blocking off my airway if I fall asleep to long.

I have only had 1 sexual intimacy in 12 yrs. relationship was still very new when my Father Passed away in 2007, and less than 1 week later, my new Boyfriend passed away. I was not able to get much information from his family regarding his death. was told heart attack and other complications. I do know that 2 weeks prior to his passing he has several biopsies done on scalp eruptions that would not heal and on his tongue as well.
The evening before my Father died, My "boyfriend" called and said there was something he needed to tell me, then he got a call waiting from his daughter and never called me back. My father passed away and with all the final disposition, I did not talk to the "BF" again til the evening before he had his H/A, lost consciousness, went on life support, 5 days later his family took him off the vent. I went to the funeral, it was a horrendous event with the ex wife and the hostile teen daughter( I had only met the daughter 1 time), without provocation the daughter attacked me screaming that I was the "B" that gave her Dad an STD. This totally took me off guard. the daughter was subdued and I left, I didnt feel like I belonged there anyway.
It was apprx a week later that I had thousands of tiny clear fluid filled eruptions in the roof of my mouth, my throat and in my nose and on the insides of my eyelids. I went to the Dr and was told it was a self limiting virus and would go away on its own in a week or two, I asked then if it would be related to having oral sex and the Dr laughed at me and I felt foolish and did not asked fruther questions... Now I wonder........"what did the BF want to talk to me about" ( I will never know) and was that self limiting virus a reaction to exposure to whatever is now causing these growths... I certainly hope I remember to try and hold the doctors attention long enough to ask about it.
