I completly agree. Cancer cannot be diagnosed with looking. My cancer was mistakenly ignored b/c everyone thought it was an ulcer. I am not a likely candidate for OC so that thought never occured to anyone.

I don't want to scare you and it could very well be nothing. But I agree with David. It's always better to be safe than sorry. I am also told to you look at my tongue and let them know if I see any changes. I have deligated that job to my fiancee. He knows what my tongue looks like better than anyone!!!

You are doing all the right things....go to the docs and get your questions answered.

Let us know when you have questions and feel free to send me an PM if you want to chat more.
