Dino. People here have mentioned to you before that the reflux is a serious problem that can manifest itself in the manner you describe. I have answered the same in your Pm's to me. Reflux is aggravated by anxiety. You are definitely dealing with that. Now you have been given medication that help reflux, but you do not take it with regularity. Combine this with the fact that reflux medications and proton pump inhibitors take a month to even start showing progress and you have shown that you haven't even given the drug time to work. They aren't magic pills that in one day create a solution. Reflux is a chronic problem that requires long-term maintenance. You need to seek counseling. Your doctors, given how many you have seen, are likely not all wrong. The possibilities of someone going through all the tests that you have had, being seen by the different numbers of doctors you have been seen by and all of them missing a cancer is too small to calculate. Glenn is right. Until such time that you have a problem that the people on this board have experience with (cancer) there is little more that any of us can do for you as far as advice. Seeing a mental health professional will likely help you more than anything else. You have posted your history of things here before and had the same response. It's time to move on from oral cancer and deal with the real issues, not the imagined ones that are creating anxiety in you.
