I haven't seen one person with the same symptoms as my mom. She has a lump in her lip. The biopsy indicated that there were cancerous cells.(mucoepidermoid, squamous, clear, etc). Is this considered oral cancer or maybe it is something else? I am just so confused. I probably shouldn't be trying to diagnose her myself but if I am not researching, I'm panicking. By the way, this is an amazing forum. Thanks for the help.
