Hi everyone

First of all I am sorry to hear of anyone who is fighting cancer in any way shape or form. I am constantly amazed by the sheer bravery of those suffering from cancer, but also those surviving cancer and living their lives!!

I went to the doctors recently complaining of fatigue and an enlarged left collar bone with pain across the left side of my chest, neck, and ear. Also with left armpit lymph raised and causing discomfort. I am scheduled for a neck ultrasound.

I then felt a small pimple inside my left gum/floor of mouth. Gp said there is just a small ulcer there. Went to an out of hours about so called lump, he suggested calcium stone. Finally as id prodded and sucked sour sweets to no avail, went to a maxillofacial surgeon who said biopsy but absolutely no suspicions regarding ulcer.Yes i smoke, silly me as gave up a year ago for two and a half years! but sucked on nicotine mints regularly and those things left me with sore stomach and consistent canker sores. nevertheless those cleared up eventually.

i am so scared as i cannot understand why i have the ulcer which seemed to form at he same time a the eAr, neck, collarbone pain. also only last year did i learn that my great gran died from throat cancer at 33 years old. could there be a gene? finally, i have had nothing but infection since xmas, dont know why?

Lots of colds, coughs, sinusitus, uti, thrush, and now possible chest infection as slight rattle on lungs. anyone offer n advice? the surgeon seems not troubled, surely a good sign? He says no lump there, ive inflammed my duct probably by prodding xxx
