Thanks for the support, friends. I truly appreciate it. You have all been through so much and for that I am truly heartbroken. Your advice really does benefit all of us.

I am currently on day 6 of anti-fungal meds (four days of liquids and two days of lozenges x5per day)to see if it takes care of the white part of my lesions and ulcerations. So far no change :-( I was hoping to see some form of improvement by now. The area where my biopsy was performed has already seemed to "grow back" to the red and white lesion it once was, although the ulceration is a much lesser degree than it was before he cut it out.

I have an appointment with the surgeon in 12 days to possibly perform more biopsies, and an appointment with oral medicine (I'm still not sure of their specialty, though - it seems they specialize in all oral, systemic, and cancerous diseases which manifest in the oral cavity, but I could be wrong...), but that appointment is not until September. Does anyone know if Oral Medicine is the right place for me or is ENT really the only correct specialty? I will discuss with my oral surgeon at my next appointment, but I know you are all very wise in the choice of medical care. I do not know the difference between oral medicine and ENT, and cannot find a satisfying answer in a google search... Thanks in advance!
