Today I was at the Dental hospital with my mum.
She has been complaining of a having a really sore mouth for a while now. She phoned the doctor's surgery who advised her to let the pharmacist have a look which she did. The pharmacist prescribed bonjela for ulcers, but she has a sore on her cheek which she thought perhaps her dentures was causing.
Eventually she went to her dentist who told her she wasn't happy with the growth on her cheek. A week later the growth had increased in size. An urgent referral was made to the dental hospital.
A biopsy was done today. Saw two different consultants who both said they don't know what it is, but it does feel lumpy. Not sure what that means , if anything!
We will get the results in two weeks. Keeping everything crossed that it is only caused by her dentures rubbing.
She smokes about 40 cigs a day, if not more, and has been drinking every day since dad died last year, so isn't doing herself any favours.
Will keep you posted when the results come in.
