I am counting the biopsies as surgeries. I know I am lucky as far as oral cancer is concerned, but I'm still pretty scared. I wish there was a way to determine if the irritated tongue is cancer without a knife:)I try to be stong and fight but once in a while it gets very hard.

My doctor has told me to let her know if I have any ear and/or throat pain. Once in a while my ear hurts so I did let her know. When my appointment came around the pain had left. Now it's back. Does anyone know about this? Had anyone had ear pain that turned into something more?
