Hi Christopher: If I had to count the number of times I've had strange lumps, bumps, ulcers, white patches, blisters, etc., that eventually went away within a couple of days or weeks, I could hire an ENT fulltime - I always have a maglite shining in my mouth after brushing my teeth I'm embarassed to say... Although everything bears checking out if it's been there for any length of time (we all know what our comfort zone is as far as what that timeframe is) remember we're all programmed at this point to think the worst. I agree that since it's been a while, be more optimistic. We'll all be thinking about you on Monday - keep us updated.
