Helen, in no way would I "forget it". I would in this case put it in the "nuisance" column. I know you have heard this nearly a million times since you first arrived here but, it isn't until they say it is.

For about three years before being told that it was, I listened to my ENT doc use the leukoplakia term in every dictation he did for every single visit I made to his office. At that time I had no idea what the hell leukoplakia was, thus I did not worry about it. Now though as I said above, I would put it in the "nuisance" column and make damn sure that it was followed on a regular basis.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Continue being the strong lady we all know you are.
