Hi Kary! Welcome to OCF. First, calm down!!!! I cant stress this enough. It is not doing you any good getting all worked up about something when you dont know what it is.

There could be many different things going on in your mouth besides cancer. Even if it would be cancer, it is NOT a death sentence. There are many survivors here, including myself which proves its not always fatal.

You need to calm down and think this thru logically. Make yourself a battle plan. Call an ear, nose and throat specialist (ENT) who is familiar with treating oral cancer patients. Make sure you ask about this as some's specialty is putting tubes in kids ears. Let the doc check you out and if necessary do a biopsy. Honestly it is not a big deal to have one done. Ive done them awake with nothing, asleep, and with being only numbed locally. I prefer it to be done awake without any numbing agent. Its a tiny snip where they take a teeny-tiny piece of tissue and send it to the lab for testing. Then you take it from there with your next plan. Stay busy while passing the time.

Good luck!
