Well Spade - you should be! Quit that stuff NOW! But before you totally freak we have a saying around here "It ain't cancer until the pathology report comes back and says it is".

Don't get ahead of yourself here. Although people at your young age do get cancer, it is not that common. So what does your mentor have to say about this? Have you had a biopsy yet?

I get stuff like that from biting myself while I'm eating food. I mistook a healthy salivary gland for a new tumor. Get it checked by a head & neck surgeon or ENT and be grateful for your wake up call.

We can ALL relate to the phobia of cancer (I still have it)!
