As I say life happens. Yes, I caught the recurrence. It was right after my two yr check up and was in a different spot in my mouth than the first spot that diagnosed me. The spots that I noticed in my recurrence were more red if I remember right. They could have had some white but I think they were red. I was diagnosed with SCC with bone invasion of the hard palate.

If I was not getting the information I needed from a doctor that would not make me feel comfortable and I would try to see another one if possible. I know sometimes it is hard but if there is another oral surgeon or one that is referred to as a head and neck surgeon I would go see them. They usually have seen more and can give a little more information. I am VERY picky about my dr's.

You are very welcome. Anything I can do to help you get through this as with anyone else on here I will do. I was blessed with an awesome oral surgeon. Let me know if you have any other questions
