Sherry, Try not to worry too much about it being cancer until you get a clear indication that it is. If you;'re really scared this is oral cancer, spend your time until you hear definitely putting together a plan for quitting smoking. I'm pretty sure that is a far larger risk factor than any other kind of previous cancer. Then follow the plan whether or not this is cancer!

I was diagnosed with two unrelated cancers practicaly simultaneously, though, in answer to your question, so yes it can happen, maybe because I am just more genetically suscpetible to cancer overall or somehting. I don't really know why.
