Welcome to OCF. It sounds like you have had your share of ups and downs in life. One good thing you wrote was about not smoking or chewing.
Cancer is a funny thing, some heavy smokers/chewers never get anything and others who never used tobacco end up with cancer.
One thing we say around here is "its not cancer til they say its cancer". Hope when you have the biopsy done it comes back negative.
