Hi all,
I'm not sure who knows or who doesnt but i got miss diagnosed for a couple of years i was told the sore in my mouth was a canker sore and "nothing to worry about" so imagine my surprise when after a biopsy it was stage 4 SCC..well the reason i'm telling you this is while i was telling my inlaws about it all my father in law butted in and described my symptoms!!!!! when i asked how he knew he said he had had a sore in his mouth (left side tongue) that would come and go for a couple of years and he had been told the same thing only thing is like me everytime his came back it was bigger and more sore.
so i told them both to make sure he went to see my ENT next time it came back...

well it came back so he went to see his Dr the other day his Dr refused to refer him saying the same old same old its just a canker sore this time maybe with a virus?!!!!!, now he is having trouble with a persistent cough 2 months now, im so worried its all related and have no idea what to do, apprently meicare wont let him see a specialist without a referal....ok im done venting when will the medical profession stop doing this.

anyone heard of this type of thing that has really been "nothing to worry about"?

thanks for reading...hope this is in the right place..Debz
