Our ENT is away this week so we were seen by one of the others.
He does not think it looks malignant but took a biopsy - as he should. We should have the results Thursday or Friday
Kris has been gargling with salt and sodium bicarbonate since Saturday. And I do think that it looks smaller and less deep.
The ENT was not keen on applying anything to the ulcer, or on getting one of the Dentists to take a look. Wait until the biopsy results come through.
I'm feeling quietly confident.
