Liz,

I started to reply to your thread to let you know how I came to find I had oral cancer. It turned out to be a fairly long narrative so I am posting it on the General Board under "How Potato Chips Saved My Life"

It may help folks get an understanding of how different people came to know they had this disease if others post similar stories.
