Joined: Aug 2002 Posts: 9 | Well I went to the ENT today. Dr. rounds was great he listened to my concerns and did a thorough checkup for me. All was good. He said I had a swollen lymph node but it was mobile and thinks I have a baterial or viral infection in my mouth. No cancer present at all. I decided to go out tonite and have a good time on campus. I think it was the first time I smiled in a long time and my g/f was relieved that I am finally back to my normal self. Thank you guys for all your support I am very grateful to you. Best of luck with your situation. I will be keeping tabs on you guys. | | |

Best help you can offer is to spread the word about oral cancer awareness/prevention in young adults.
Bets of luck clearing up that infection and please do think good thoughts for dave on 9/16.
Cheers to a good outcome,
Kim
