Yorky, Im sorry you have had another scare and have returned to our site. On your last thread, you were given many great pieces of advice from many of our members, myself included. I strongly recommend going back and rereading your entire thread from your original post and all the replies. One of the most common phrases we have is .... Any sore that has been in your mouth for 2 weeks or longer that does not resolve itself should be checked by a professional. By the term professional, you should see an ENT who specializes in treating OC patients. That type of ENT should be the most versed with identifying potentially cancerous sores. You do NOT want the type of ENT who primarily puts tubes in childrens ears. A biopsy will determine exactly what the lesion is and if its cancerous.

As far as being in pain, many cancer patients do NOT have pain which is why its so common for late stage diagnosis. My own tumor caused me no discomfort at all which is why I was unaware of the lesion. As far as your pain goes, you need to take care of that and get it under control as soon as possible. Being in pain does not do one positive thing for any patient. Its actually harmful making everything more difficult for the patient.

Im sorry but the questions you are asking are best answered by your medical professionals. Since our site is made up of patients/survivors and caregivers we simply are not qualified to answer those types of questions. Im sorry but we do not have years of medical schooling, patients studies, clinical practice, or your medical history so we are unqualified to help as much as we would like to. Hopefully what you have going on is nothing serious.

Wishing you all the very best!
