Does anyone know if there is a link to oral cancer and Epstein Barr? I was diagnosed with this when I was I guess @ 21 so I did a quick google search and saw some studies done on the connection. I have had this cancer 3 times, all following traumatic events in my life when my immunity would have been low. Just curious, thanks!
