I can�t help but reply.
I just had cancer removed form my tongue and the situation is not over.
I don�t smoke or drink, can run the 100 in 12 sec, 5 times in a row,( I�m 52), eat healthy , no family history of any kind of cancer and my
HPV screen came back neg on like 16 strains .
The list of possible contributors is long. The ones I�m working on are: plastic byproducts,( I have been drinking out of picknick cups for 25 years because I don�t like to do dishes�going to glass like normal people), dental fillings, I�ve got a mouth full of them � going to get patch tested (Mayo Clinic found 80% of nonsmoker/nondrink oral cancer folks were allergic to metals in their fillings in one test series), better oral hygiene,eating more fruits and veges. And any other simple change I may learn about that could possibly be contributing. One doctor tested me for vitamin D deficiency but that was way off base.
