We are not medical professionals and do not have any medical training. We are here to help by sharing our experiences and how we coped on the cancer journey. We are unable to diagnose and you won’t want us to anyway.
Your best course of action is to wait until you have seen your doctor and have had a biopsy. That way, you will have a definitive answer. In the meantime, reading as much as you can on the Oral Cancer Foundation main page will be helpful. The information is compiled and vetted by medical,professionals. The more you learn about oral cancer, the better you will be able to manage your condition if it does turn out after a biopsy that you have oral cancer.
