It is NOT over. And it's not cancer until a biopsy says it is. Good advice above. You and your health are important so do get yourself to an ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) or Oral surgeon. THe sooner you get yourself into the fight mode, the sooner you will start feeling better. Tell the doctor or doctor's office that it is very important and that you want an appointment as soon as possible. Don't let them put you off. My son put things off way too long, but he's fine now and doing great!
