Hi Kelly,

There are lots of things that aren't as serious as cancer that you might be seeing. Most of us probably don't spend much time peering into our mouths, so when we do we see all kinds of trouble.

Gary is right you should have those things checked out. While you are at it why not make the committment to better hygiene as well.


Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
