Last week I noticed an area in the *very* back of my mouth was hurting when I brushed. I appear to have a sore or an irritated area back there and it is still there and hurting now over a week later.
I'm very concerned this is oral cancer. I am 30 and have never smoke or drank in my life.
However, I am worried somehow I have gotten oral cancer. If it was anything else, it would have been gone by now after having over a week to heal. This leaves me, unfortunately, with oral cancer as the only possible explanation. Possibly from HPV or something?
This is unbelievably depressing to potentially have this cancer at a young age.
