I'm finding it hard not to agree with your family about your mental state. You've worked yourself into hysteria...you are "that" person. Even if it is cancer, which is doubtful, it's not necessarily a death sentence, especially if caught early.
Obviously you don't accept your Dr's opinion...so why care about that Dr now? My suggestion is to get to your GP and ask for an antianxiety med to see you through until you find an answer you'll accept, or score some pot and chill out. I think you'll likely go due to a stroke or anuerysm at this point.
Fox Chase in Philadelphia is a CCC, a top program nationally and is only a little over an hour away (as per Google Maps) 888-369-2427. Call them and get your second before you drive yourself into a mental collapse. Stress will kill you before cancer in my opinion.
You've been told where to go from here from people that "live" oral cancer...now take that advice and run with it.
