Im sorry but this site is made up of oral cancer patients and caregivers. We do not have the medical background to be able to identify something thru a photo. Even doctors need a biopsy to know if something is cancerous or not.
Any sore that is in the mouth for 2 or 3 weeks should be checked by a professional. I suggest an ENT who specializes in oral cancer. Only thru a biopsy would you know exactly what it is. If a biopsy was already done what were the results? What type of biopsy was it?
If it would be oral cancer, time is important. By delaying it gives whatever it is time to grow and possibly spread. Hopefully it is nothing serious. Please encourage your husband to get this taken care of. Not to worry you but, I thought my tumor was a canker sore too, but it was cancer.
Good luck!!!
