I am a 20 yr user of smokeless tobacco and alsohol and have recently stopped both due to recent cancer diagnosis in my family. Since then I am and have been acutely aware of the position I am in wrt oral cancer and recently found a very small bump on left side of my tongue. After surfing the new I am convinced it is the beginning of oral cancer and have a Drs appointment to begin to find out. Just looking for some moral support and after reading many of these and others only hope I have the courage you all display.
