The above advice is good, talk to your doctors. Just so you don't worry, from what I have read and from my own experience (disscussions with my doctor) it would be unlikely that your tonsil cancer would show up on your lip. You may be having a problem with low salivia and abrasion with your teeth. I have the same problem with my tongue and a couple of sharp edges on my teeth. It is worse when I have been talking alot.
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.
