It's not quite oral cancer, but I think it's a good description (I related to a lot of it) and it has an encouraging outcome. http://uk.lifestyle.yahoo.com/at-26-i-thought-i-was-invincible--then-cancer-changed-everything.html

This is all very true of how I felt when going through my cancer, my husband's cousin around the same age had the same cancer as this girl. It's scary. Thankfully she is fine today..
