I dont think I missed this, but sorry if I did. Where exactly is the spot in your mouth located? How long has it been there?

My cancer was a complete shock to me. I thought mine was a canker sore. Not trying to cause you any worry at all, just checking your symptoms. From my experiences here, dont think oral cancer is a heredity thing. I do know of one person here who has had several relatives with it, but thats the only one.
