I just want to let you know a lot of people, even my Drs. have said that most cancerous places are not painful, mine was extremely painful to the point that I could not chew anything solid, so I knew something was wrong. Even though most time they are not, there is a chance it could be. I am thankful I had pain otherwise I would not have caught mine so early. Even though you don't like it know, be thankful there is pain so would know to get it checked out. Good luck and keep us posted.
