My Dentist has decided to refer me back to my old cancer surgeon, Dr van Gemert, yeah he's still working at the same hospital.\
Havn't seen him in 10 years, was kinda hoping never to see him again... not that he's a bad fella, he did save my life after all but, given his line of work I really didn't want to see him again ever.
It;s just a precaution though, due to my history, the dentist wants to be super careful.
I have a couple of white spots on my gum, other side from the surgical site, they dont' seem to want to wash away even with super burn level listerine. This can be half a dozen things, including a simple fungal infection,which is not uncommon in prosthetic teeth wearers (my falsies). But there is the tiniest chance its cancer or pre-cancer, so best to get it checked out and treated asap if needed. There's no lumps bumps or other signs of the previous type of cancer.

So, I have no real reason to be worried, but....
Going back there will be a bit of a knee wobbler..
