Wait - your sig says you've already been diagnosed with scc... Have you? According to your message you have a biopsy this week... ? How did they diagnose you with cancer without a Biopsy?

Also let me say this to you- I was you - I had a non healing area on my tongue for years - I too though it might be from rubbing against a cap that was put on a molar. I had that thing filed three or four times and the area biopsied once... Came back inflamed tissue. Problem still persisted. They though it might be allergies. I was tested... My second biopsy came back cancer.

If it persists deal with it. Don't leave it. The is a bit of a debate and discussion going on about whether chronic irritation can cause cancer - I have none of the precursors for oral cancer... There are a few of us here... I believe that chronic irritation can cause cancer... On a biological level it makes sense. I also found it listed on a web site as a cause. I'm not saying it is cancer... But if a biopsy says it is then do what you have to to treat it. Usually this type of cancer requires surgery. And depending on the final pathology result possibly radiation and chemo. I understand the possibility of being out of work is scary but your family would suffer more if they don't have you.

Your health is primary. I am not sure how things work in India, but take care of yourself. Best of luck and I hope it's not cancer.
