Hi,
I have just come from the ENT and he did a scope through my nose and diagnosed me with leukoplakia of the vocal chord right side. I am due to an endoscopy in a week as I have had discomfort when swallowing and also heartburn. I have never heard of leukoplakia. Does anyone here have this condition. I am told it is pre-cancerous and probably brough on by smoking (which I am stopping right now). Anyone having this diagnosis, please respond. My doctor will see me back in 6 weeks and if it appears to be subsiding he will just monitor me. If it looks the same or worse, he intends to do a biopsy. Please, anyone with this condition let me know.

Thanks,
Margie
