What you have written does not sound like its how oral cancer presents itself. As I mentioned in my previous post, an ENT should be the best resource for you to get a biopsy and diagnosis. It would be a good idea to find out what you are dealing with before having it removed. It may not be anything serious??? You may not have to go thru surgery to get treated???
Good luck!
