Since the beginning of March I have had all the symptoms of oral cancer. I have been to several Doctors and everyone of them tells me it's not cancer or they want to do other tests besides checking for cancer. I have had throat cultures, I have had blood work, I have had oral screenings but yet I still have every symptom of mouth cancer and the Doctors now want to test my zinc levels. I feel like all of this is costing me so much money and we are getting nowhere. I have even expressed to my doctor's that I have all the symptoms of oral cancer but as usual I'm laughed at and told that I'm too young to have oral cancer. I feel like I will never get an answer and by the time I do it will be too late. I have 3 kiddos that I hope to see grow up and have their own. I have so much to live for and I feel like Doctors do not take me seriously! How did you all get a diagnosis and how long did it take?? My mouth hurts..tongue is so painful....throat has hurt since the beginning of March and my ears hurt. I have also had an ultrasound and it came back with swollen lymph nodes but when I go to the doctor they say it wasn't nothing to concerned about. I know my body and I know something is not right. I just wish I would be heard.
