Hi Helen,

Thanks for responding. I have looked up Leukoplakia on several sites and they usuall refer to "Hairy" and "Non-Hairy" Leukoplakia. They also mention HIV in their description. I am a female, been married for 20 years to the same man and we have both been faithful, so I can hopefully rule out anything to do with Aids. This has thrown me for a loop, and I have just finished nursing my Mom through surgery for cancer on her tongue. She is 85 and lives with me and it has been an ordeal. I'm not looking forward to going through what she has been through. I am a nervous wreck ove this situation. I am also scheduled in 10 days for an endoscope through an internist to look into the esophogas. Keep me in your prayers.

Margie
