This is my first post, just looking for a few thoughts really. Have suffered incredibly with health anxiety since I lost my Mum to bowel cancer 6 years ago, she was just 50 years of age. Ever since then I worry over every little thing I get and think it's cancer every time. It is really dragging me down. Lately I have had this rough patch of skin at the back of my mouth that seems to flare up and go back down. It was doing this every few weeks for last two months but recently it's been more persistant. When it inflames it feels like an ulcer or tag of skin when it goes down the area just feels a little rough. Can't work it out. I am going to the dentist tomorrow but quite worked up about it.
