Saw the ENT yesterday at University of Mississippi due to some ongoing pain in my sinus and upper maxilla area. While there I told him I had been having a bit of a sore throat. He decided to run the scope down my nose and into my throats area. He advised me he observed some leukoplakia on my left vocal cord. He told me this was a precancerous condition and that he would check it again in 6 months. Also started me on a Prilosec. Does this sound like a correct approach? To say I am a little nervous is an understatement.
