I am really worried about oral cancer. I have been getting a burning tongue on the left side and the dentist has referred me for possible Burning Mouth Syndrome but it will be a few months.
However I have recently had a feeling that something is on my gum, upper left at the very back just past my upper molars. I could feel something with my finger like a small spot and I picked it off but it came back after about a week.
I am also getting jaw pain that side and front of neck pain again same side but I do suffer from TMJ so thought that was the reason.
Now I am thinking the worst. If the spot was cancer could I pick it off and if so would it come back that quick?
I am a 64 year old women, never smoked and no alcohol at all for the last two years. Before that I would just have wine with dinner at night.
Can anyone help?
