Possible Oral Cancer

[darkside4k]

Fish,

Wow that’s scary. Honestly I do think that is what it is though. I’ll be calling my dentist to setup an appointment tomorrow. Hopefully it’s not too late. I’ve never been this depressed in my life. Truly.

Maybe I have a very rapid growing HPV caused oral cancer. I think that is likely the case since I don’t drink or use tobacco. I have two small children and it pains me to have to leave them at such a young age.

Why? Where you going?

Cut it out, Darkside. If you are genuine, go to a doctor. If you are a prankster or sicko, then be off with you!

That's some truth there! I've had two heart attacks, triple bypass, stents, cancer and last year my wife suffered a devastating illness that has left her with an acquired brain injury. I suffer from permanent side effects as well that aren't exactly pleasant.

I wish I or my wife had just one of the clear test results so many here get on a regular basis. Personally, I'd much rather take meds (which I
did for some depression after my illness), go to therapy and work on myself then go through the treatment I did.

Anyway... I'm rambling... Let us know how you make out DSide...

Good luck and as always...

Positive thoughts

That sounds awful, it's surprising how many REAL illnesses you can have but not have health anxiety when really you would think that's when you'd get it more, knowing the harsh reality of all the list above.

I see so many people on here with such little symptoms, I wonder how it would make people with genuine issues like yourself feel if only they could have that "small" symptom.

I agree, I take antidepressants and in a heartbeat I would rather take those than go through any of what you or your wife had too.

Take care Fish! If you can survive all of that you are pretty much immortal!

If I were a betting woman (or an armchair psychologist), I'd put money on a histrionic PD

You're an armchair diagnostician so I'll go with that

I really don't know if I'll be able to sleep until I can have a dentist look at this. I'm at this point about 95% certain it's oral cancer. Fishmanpa's posts have particularly assured me of this.

I need to accept these may be my last few weeks with my children. That is what pains me the most. That and the likely painful medical experiences that lie in my future and ultimately my death.

I've never been this scared over any other of my medical scares. This one is the most real.

Do you tell your wife any of your worries darkside?
