Welcome to OCF. Im sorry to read about your many health problems. I hope once all the tests come back that you do not have oral cancer (OC). Many OC patients do not have any symptoms which is why they are not diagnosed until its in its later stages. Some experience only a mild ear ache or sore throat. Please do yourself a favor and avoid diagnosing yourself over the internet. "Dr Google" will come up with all kinds of possibilities when putting in random symptoms. This will only cause you more stress which doesnt help you at all.

Hang in there and take the tests one by one until you get to the bottom of whats going on. Hopefully, you wont need our group but if you do you are in a very good place for help.

Good luck!!!!


PS... Helpful info about being diagnosed from the main OCF site
