Part of me says it's wishful thinking, but part of me also says that surface symptoms like an open sore might in fact heal to some extent as part of the bodies normal healing process. That healing doesn't mean the cancer is healing, just the sore.

If your cancer was diagnosed via biopsy as it should have been then accept that you have cancer and need to get it treated via the medically accepted methods, ie radiation and chemo.

Since I didn't go back and read your other posts prior to answering this one I don't know if you have been biopsied already.

If you have an Introduce Yourself thread it will probably be better for you to ask these types of questions there. Doing so, allows us to get to know you better and hence provide better answers and guidance, answers which better apply to your personal situation instead of having to be more general in nature. The Introduce Yourself forum also has the advantage of being where most of us go first every day upon signing into the forum. More people see your question, more people answer it, better results for all.

Spreading many questions across different forums will get you an answer to that question, but I think you will get better answers concentrating all your questions in one place.

Just my 2 cents (and sometimes I've found that's all it's worth).

Hang in there
