I have never been more scared in my life. I am 21 years old and fear that I could have oral cancer. These symptoms started a few days ago: soreness in my lower and upper gums(in the front) lining the teeth, a bit of numbness in the lips, and a tiny little spot on my tongue that you can't see.(but its a bit painful). The reason I feel like it could be something serious is because I've never had gum pain before really. My teeth are sore. Do you think this could be cancer? Or a type of gum disease? Or maybe just a sore mouth? Or maybe I'm overreacting? I bite the inside of my cheek sometimes as a nervous habbit also. I'm completely terrified. I have big plans for my life and now I feel like my whole world in just gone. I am heartbroken and can't stop crying.
