I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago after been treated with 4 lots of antibiotics over 3 weeks by the gp for infected mouth ulcer, I am devastated what started as a small lesion has grown at least 5 times in size since the punch box biopsies, I have seen the surgeon and am having surgery, several back teeth removed  tumour removal and neck disection as it has spread to the lymph nodes followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I am at the point now that eating is horrendous, talking is so painful and psychologically shot. My head and emotions are all over the place. Since seeing the surgeon the lesion has grown substantially so have contacted them to try and get an idea of when surgery will commence as I am extremely worried about spread to my throat, lungs due to the aggressiveness of the tumour. Has anyone else experienced this type of cancer and treatment I would appreciate it so much

Kindest regards
