Maryland,

My question to you would be what's it going to take to convince you that you're OK? It's been three years, you've been to several ENT's and you're still alive. If you had cancer untreated for that long you would most likely be dead or on the verge of dying by now.

You admit to having a drinking problem and obviously understand that alcohol is a risk factor for Oral Cancer...which you're worried you have, yet you continue to drink? I mean I understand that you're only 27 and may not have come to the realization that you don't know everything yet...but let me clue you in on something...you don't know everything.

We stress on these boards to seek 2nd opinions, even 3rds from reputable facilities...but gimme a break...10? Seriously? Lay off the sauce kid and wake up and realize that the Dr's aren't the one with a problem here. My advice is to seek professional help...but not from an ENT who will just confirm what the last 10 already told you.
