Hi

Can anyone help?

I have had pain in my neck for a while, think its due to lymph on left side being enlarged for a while now, but also have ear pain for months too.

Its weird cause in march i thought i had a lump in the floor of my mouth and kept getting at it and there was an ulcer on top of where i thought the lump was. Saw a maxillofacial oncologist who said the lump is probably just my duct, nothing odd, we all have lumpy mouths but he biopsied the ulcer as it hung around for months. Results were good, negative for cancer.

However, with the neck pain been exploring area and found that left neck gland is soft on right side but hard and lumpy left side where the pain is coming from. I also feel like my left ear has dried out i side.

I was a smoker, and i am 31. However, i crunched nicotine mints up in my mouth for two years trying to kick the habit and i am really paranoid that perhaps this has given me cancer in my salivary gland.

Can anyone advise?
