There are many things that show up in the oral cavity that are not cancer. At your age it would be extremely unlikely that you have this kind of cancer. Possible yes but not likely. That dosn't mean you should ignore this but you shouldn't be living in fear.
Please do have it checked and let us know the outcome.
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.
