ha small world cookey eh, im not from Killie, im from Stevenston which is only afew towns away though, next to sunny saltcoats by the sea on the west coast, couldnt believe it when i seen your post, i used to be a ballboy for kilmarnock football club for years in my early teens though !!

im still feeling a bit better today though which is good, face is pretty sore but hopefully wont last too long, was back in at kilmarnock today doing some shopping for bits and pieces i seen yesterday and some more christmas goodies for my daughter.

one thing that is bugging the life out me though is the fact that the pain when swallowing is back.

this is what prompted me into getting the white patches checked out again 4 years down the line, i was scared the pain on swallowing ( only 1 side of the throat, same side as the majority of the white patches ) was related to the white patch in the floor of my mouth ??

it seemed to dissapear with the antibiotics first time about 9 weeks ago, then it seemed to return again, though i wasnt sure whether it really was or if my mind was working overtime, but i think today with my calmer state i can safely say the pain on swallowing is back, though maybe it has something to do with the 2 biopsys on the same side of face ?? i dont know and its bugging me.i think i explained it wrong to the consultant yesterday, im sure i said sore throat rather than pain swallowing.

will just need to wait and see the outcome of the results and if all is o.k in mouth, then i will have to follow up the throat situation, will need to push for an appointment to the ENT department.

also if it was invasive scc would i not have more profound symptoms in the space of 1 and a half to 2 years ??

hope someone can maybe help a bit
hope everyone is o.k today also.

thanks all

Derek
