Bean,

We aren't here to judge we're here to help. Wrong impression of you, No Way. Ok you drink and smoke time to put it away. You haven't made a mess look how many people on here who don't smoke or drink and they have Oral Cancer. If you have cancer you really don't know how you got it. It could be from smoking and drinking or some thing else. I blamed everything under the sun, my cell phone was a biggy with me.

I'm glad your going to see an ENT doctor, that's your first step. Don't give up we're here to talk to you anytime. Take notes at the Dr.s office or have someone go with you because what he tells you will go right over your head. I had someone go with me to all my appointments I couldn't remember a thing the Dr. told me. My head was some place else. Also get a copy of your medical records I did and it told me a lot.

Keep us posted, take care and God Bless.
