Thank you all for your concern. The scare was resolved in 30 minutes once the white spot (debris) at the back of my throat\tonsil was removed.
The biopsy on the 7th March is just a part of the �keeping an eye on the leukoplakia\inflammation� (front of tongue\flap) that I have had since the original operation. I have had a few surgeries to nibble away at it with not much success so as I am in no pain opted for the biopsy just to put my mind at rest.
I had a biopsy in 2009 and am expecting much the same result i.e no cancer but probably a few nasties like these pasted from last report �The adjacent epithelium is hyperplastic, shows prominent parakeratosis with bacterial colonies and abundant candida albicans organisms being noted in the superficial epithelial layers. There is no evidence of residual tumour.- DIAGNOSIS TONGUE : NON-SPECIFIC CHRONIC ULCER.CANDIDIASIS.�
Sounds awful doesn�t it but the comment from the specialist is mostly - not much to worry about!
The only thing I had forgotten about was booking a yearly luncheon for myself and 3 of my female colleagues for the following day. It coincides with International Women�s Day and at the time marked no special dietary requirements.
As I will no doubt have a few stitches I have changed it today. eek
Love to all
Gabriele
