I am a dentist and oral cancer survivor with no risk factors. I have been practicing for 35 years and of the 2 cases of oral cancer that I picked up, one was from smokeless tobacco.
What Barb has told you is sound advice. Whether you have cancer or not, and I sure hope you don't, the best thing you can do for yourself is stop parking the evil weed right now.
Good luck with the biopsy and let us know. We will be here for you, if you need us.
