Hello everybody,
Well went back to my ENT yesterday. The mass on my adenoids had reduced, but not completely gone. I did show him my tongue, the places on the inside of my cheeks that was white, and he said it is leuplakia. I ask him, do I have cancer of the mouth or throat? He said no two or three times, but that word leuplakia, which he said was probably caused by antibiotics and my teeth against my cheeks, because they swell sometimes, was the cause of this. I go back to see him in a month, but I am still concerned. Doesn't leuplakia mean cancer or becoming cancer? From what I've seen on the net, it does. Luckily, my GP made a mistake and made me two different appointments with two different ENT's and I see a different one Thursday. I want to have a second opinion. Even though the mass has reduced, I guess meaning infection, I am still having a sore throat, white coated tongue, the white film that is on the inside of my cheeks, hurts at my tonsils and mouth and facial pain. I saw a neurologist today and he, of course, didn't know what was goin on, so he set me up with an MRI w/contrast and I will have one of those done. My ENT seemed to think it was more of inflamation of my nerves. I dunno, but I'll see I guess. I'll get back to you guys after my next appt.
Thanks for all the info everybody!!!
