I have been back to the head and neck clinic, after a referral by my dentist. Now what he said is this.
I have an area of leukoplakia along the scar of my graft and and my tongue. The Docs suggestion is watchful waiting with monthly hospital checks. His opinion at the moment is that the area is not large enough to biopsy yet.
Now after a search I find that leukoplakia is a precancerous condition, (all be it at the low end of the scale) Taking in to account my previous diagnosis, and several surgeries for high grade dysplasia SHOULD I WORRY :rolleyes:
Or can I just call it a nuisance and try to forget it.
Thanks for any advice
Sunshine.. love and hugs
