Thanks for the reply guys. I just keep staring at the white areas where my palentine tonsils used to be and remember how the ENT just dismissed the change in color. Now I'm convinced that the Leukioplakia has spead all over. It's on both sides and I remember someone replied to one of my posts and said that if the color is the same on both sides, it's a good thing. I don't know how I'll get through this all. I've decided that now matter what, I'm going to go to MD Anderson for a seond opinion. At least I work for an airline and travel for free. We also have a gazillion flights from Dallas to Houston a day. I'm really freaking out because the ENT didn't take my tonsil area serious because he thought I was a quack. Lesson learned and I've really tried to calm down until today. I've had to take sleeping medicine every night for a while now. It's funny you should say that about the HPV oral cancer. I figure since the infection is viral, it would be more likely to show back up than say a tobacco induced oral cancer because it's not a persistent virus. I'm physically ill right now.
