Dino, It is tough love time.

This forum is for people to offer advice and experience with oral cancer. You have exhausted professional medical help and you DO NOT HAVE CANCER. Now you are persisting in the belief that something is wrong. You need to get your mind in agreement with these medical professionals. The fact that you THINK you have cancer and that you continue to smoke "heavily" is disturbing to me and is an indicator that you need to deal with that as well.

This forum is not the place to resolve your problem now. You need to seek help for the way you are thinking. In the mean time please do not post here. By doing so you are taking energy that is needed for people who really have cancer.

You will be welcome here if you ever have a proven case of oral cancer. For now you need to move on.
