I think i posted this in the wrong place. On aug 9, my mouth swelled. Right side along upper teeth. Big bump about the size of my thumb showed up on roof of mouth. Swelling and sores healed after i quit chewing. Bump is hard and still there. Va said i had bacterial infection. Antibiotis have done nothing. Headaches bad. Gained about five pounds. Hurts to eat certain foods. Noticed new sores on the lump this morning. Scared. Made appt w oral surgeon but no insurance and not sure how i can get through if its cancer.
