Sadly,

First, don't freak out, it only cranks up your cortisol levels and lowers your immune system so keep it together. There are a ton of things that could be going on inside your mouth besides cancer, so where it's easy to jump to conclusions and freak out, let's save the emotional responses until after a biopsy and the pathology report that confirms or denies actual cancer. I know it's hard but just do me a solid.

Your first step after calming down, is to schedule an appointment with an Ear Nose and Throat Dr, or ENT, and have the area of concern checked out and biopsied. A biopsy is the only way that cancer can be determined, not by the naked eye, not from pictures or descriptions over the internet, nor any type of scans...only by sample tissue sent to pathology. This will also help with peace of mind, and it sounds like you need that, so schedule an appointment and insist on having a biopsy done on the area that concerns you.

Let us know when the results are in, in the meantime take your mind off of it and try to hang on to sanity.

Good luck,

Eric
