i have a mouth ulcer on my gum underneath my teeth... SO painful, and quite shallow. I have swelling under my jaw as well. Of course I have automatically assumed I have mouth cancer and have been crying a lot. I never have ulcers in this area... and I interpret the swelling as the cancer having already spread to the lymph nodes.
I know you have to wait 10 days before seeing a GP but i cant wait, it takes over all of my thoughts every day. It makes it worse that I am an ex trivial smoker and have heavy drank since I was 15 (drinking every weekend and a bit in the week). I'm 19.
Does anyone have any reassuring advice? Or any mouth cancer statistics? or any mouth ulcer stories. i would appreciate anything...
