hi ,

thanks glenn, sounds similar, and dr.mike i think you have got it spot on regarding your explination and description, sounds exactly like it.
at least i went straight back up and got it checked with absolutely no waiting about or messing around.
first bus up there in the morning and hung around with no appointment till i got it checked.
the hospital and staff have been very good with me.
today has been a good day for morale.
cyst has all but dissapeared, neck/ throat pains are still away, dizziness is away and mouth feeling better than it has since getting biopsy,
oh and best of all, my daughter is down, brilliant !!!!

thanks tpo everyone again, your help, insight and opinions are priceless and taken very seriously.

thanks

Derek
