Debra, very similar story on my end. Went to dentist in Sep. 07 to get my wisdom teeth pulled as I thought they were the cause of the pain. Dentist failed to identify large lesion as he thought it was caused by the wisdom teeth. Went back due to pain and complications in Jan. 08 which is when I was sent to an Oral Surgeon who identified it as possible cancer, then confirmed with a biopsy at an ENT. Been a wild ride that's for sure.
You've come to many of the conclusions I have, I actually write a blog on these forums you may relate to. Check it out if you have the time.
