I didn't "hang out" around here exactly, I more came across it when I first started having problems with my tongue and throat. The health anxiety is what the doctors put my symptoms down to, as most of them say I am "too young" to have this firm of cancer, so I'm not sure if I actually have it.
I have never worried about my health prior to deveolping my current problems and was only given the diagnosis of health anxiety as what I am worried about is so extreme, and as I said; the doctors I've seen don't believe I could possibly have oral cancer due to my age a lack of risk factors.
No diagnosis as of yet. 20 year old female, do not smoke or chew, very very rarely drink and then only in extreme moderation, HPV-.
