Unfortunately, we arent able to assist you in understanding what your ENT wrote. The members of our site are oral cancer patients and caregivers.... WITHOUT medical degrees, the many years of medical education, clinical patient experience, your complete medical history even immunizations and allergies could be relevant, and this is over the internet where you, the patient are not right here in front of us (not that it would matter as we are NOT doctors) to examine and ask clarifying questions as all true medical professionals would do. Our members help each other with things related to oral cancer (OC) and quite often we arent fully versed when it comes to other lesser ailments. That said, we dont have the backgrounds necessary to help... please ask your physicians to get answers from someone who is qualified to answer it.
OCF members will always go above and beyond to help everyone as much as possible. We've all been thru so many major medical issues and overcome some unbeatable odds with OC which is considered a rare disease. We do understand your situation but please understand we simply are not the right ones to give you a medical opinion. Thats what many here have done... gone for second or third, sometimes 4th opinions when we have something going on that requires medical attention and treatment. You will need to find the very best medical care with doctors who are experts in this kind of thing.
Since OC is a rare cancer, we do occasionally see new members join who are "positive" they have OC and often they will be convinced they're dying just from over using Dr Google which is NOT a reliable resource for anything to do with health. The people that are the most adamant they're sick with OC, often are who will go doctor shopping seeking that one doctor who they feel listens to them and will look further thru medical testing to rule out a serious diagnosis. Hopefully the medical professionals you have been seeing will be able to handle everything properly and that they're very experienced with treating OC patients. Not that I think whatever you have is anything serious, I am not qualified to give my opinion on your situation no matter what it turns out to be. OC is sometimes tricky to diagnose... so much so that even experienced doctors and specialists cant tell for certain what something is by visually examining you without doing a biopsy. About a week after the biopsy, the pathologists report comes back with the biopsy results. Hopefully whatever you have going on will resolve itself on its own. Since there hasnt been any changes, hopefully its nothing serious. To know for sure, you will need to put your faith in the doctor you are seeing and ask them to thoroughly explain anything you need help understanding on their report.
Best wishes!
