"It Ain't Cancer Til They Say It's Cancer"
I agree with Gary that you need to see an ENT ASAP. Most of all oral cancers are not caught until the late stages. (3 & 4) I would see my primary and ask (demand) to be referred to the ENT right away. The earlier you catch it if it is cancer the BETTER!
For your own piece of mind October is way out of the question. You must be your most agressive advocate in how this is handled.
Best wishes, Welcome to the board and please keep us posted. We love to hear good news!!!
