My Dads mum ( my grandma) died of this aged 40 in 1955..it ate away her whole face/jaw..she died in horrific pain..she left behind 13 children youngest aged 9 months old. She never smoked or drank alcohol. I am currently having tests as I have mouth ulcers and neck swelling xx Thank you ❤❤
sorry to hear that , I lost my sister that way too
What was your test results?
Hope you are good
I just want to tell u guys I thought I had tongue cancer I had a growth on side of the tongue I had it for awhile..finally I looked at it more closely n I started getting scared it would not go away but guess what I just went to the drs. Today he said my mouth is irritated I was using whitening tooth paste n whitening pens to whitening my teeth well, I got thrush noooo cancer ,its not always cancer...I had so much bumps in my mouth n on the side of my tongue.it really look like tumor...so it's not always cancer. I hope this helps don't get scared just go to ur Dr. N it's not always cancer
I just wanted to ask I have 2 white patches on gums no swelling mouth ulcers are there but not from 3 weeks i don't use any drug can I have cancer I m terrified
@@unknownwarrior7255hi i have red, hard, painless bumps in the upper gums. I told doctors and they said it's nothing to worry. Now noticed i have white bumps in the upper left side of the gums and still it's not painless so i am thinking i shouldn't care about it.
Love the demonstration to check at home! Such an important topic, everyone should be aware of oral cancer 🙌🏼
Yes definitely! Thank you ☺️ make sure to share with others
I just finished chemo and radiation for throat cancer.
Other warning signs I know of because this is how it happened for me: I had an earache that came and went for 3 months before I finally had it checked plus a bump on the inside of my mouth that was not painful. By the time I had the biopsy it was too large to operate on. Get oral "bumps" checked out right away!!!
How are you now. How was radiation and the after effects. I pray you're better 🙏
@@shantayadams3194 I am doing amazing!!! It is 5 months post-treatment and I have had a clear PET scan. My stamina is back up to 85%. I still drink all my nutrition because I don't really have an appetite, but I do try to eat "something" each day. My voice is coming back and is much louder now, but I still sound like I have a cold. My mouth is still dry and I use a gel to keep it moist (available on Amazon). My hair is growing back and it's at a really awkward stage. I know it is a long-game and I am patient to wait. Thanks for your prayers. I am blessed.
What the bump look like? I have a small lump. Under my tounge, it’s tender to touch, I went to the dentist and said it could be salivary gland that is blocked. But still. Can’t thinking about it. She referred me to an oral surgeon. And the waiting time is like a month. I don’t have any swollen lymph nodes, or any swollen on my face or neck, the X-ray I got. Has no lump in or any unusual thing inside. But. She can feel a tiny like mungo seeds. Like bump, or cyst in there. Now I’m scared it could be cancer. Since it doesn’t go away, and it’s been three months since I found it. I don’t know how long it’s been on my tounge, but it doesn’t hurt. And have no other symptoms
@@miyazakiendo3743 I don't really know what the bump looked like because I never shined a flashlight into my mouth. I could feel it by curling my tongue up to it. The first person to see it was an "urgent care" doctor who told me it needed to be imaged right away "because it might be cancer". I didn't have insurance and she told me to go to the ER because they have to do it. I did that (and filed for indigent status following the visit and was accepted). The ER referred me to an ENT (ear nose throat) doctor for a biopsy "because it might be cancer". I went to the ENT doctor, I got insurance, I got the biopsy. Shazam!!! It was cancer. If you're scared and you can't wait a month, get your lump imaged at the ER, and do whatever you have to do next.
(Edit: my bump was also tender to touch)
@@mindimartian9821 May I know how big the bump is? Mine is really small like. And I don’t have any lumps or bumps inside my face or in my neck, I also don’t have swollen neck or any other symptoms, it’s just a small like cystic acne under my tounge. Did you went to an CT scan? MRI? I’m in Canada, how much did you pay for it? I don’t have insurance as I’m not working rn due to having kids. How much did you pay for it? And also? What stage you’re cancer? Sorry you got that. I have an appointment next week. Im really hoping for you’re recovery. And hopefully the cancer didn’t spread in you lympnodes and other parts of the body. Now I’m more scared whatever this is. 😰
Thank you for the pictures
Great video. You are such a beautiful and smart young lady. 🙏🏽❤️

@@YewandeDental definitely 🥺
Does any mouth sore or hole that has been there a few years mean it's oral cancer? Anyone help? Expertise would be appreciated.
I went to my GP doctor for a black medium size circle on my tongue. Like the size of the tip of my pinky. They didn’t diagnose me with anything and instead referred me to a specialist. In my area the earliest a specialist could see me is late February. It is currently mid Dec as I’m typing this. I’m so terrified that things will get worse and they’re not even seeing me soon enough and no one even knows what is wrong with me
Should I just get a second opinion at a dentist in the meantime?
What was it
Yes you should ASAP
Have you find out what it is?
It would be nice if we could see pictures of oral cancer?
Facts in my opinion none of these videos are really helpful I’ve watched so many.and the comments hardly get answered
I have a lump on side of my tongue that is painless and between soft and hard. Had blisters pop up on cheeks. I dont smoke and only drink occasionaly. Google is saying its cancer but i have anxiety and struggle going to the doctors or dentist. Im terrified.
What was it
God gots you 💕
Oh my god
Hello, how are you feeling? , are you alive please speak ?😢

I have some kind of abscess on my bottom gums that is getting bigger and I’ve been to my dentist and he only said leave my false teeth out when I’m home but only use them when I go out but no treatment given out.
Any help
My doctor gave me antibiotics for my abscess...it worked very well. I hope your ok.
Guys I have small bumps on the inside of my lip any suggestions?
What about Back Bumps in the Tongue
I have 5 tiny red bumps inside of my cheek/mouth. What is it???😢
what is the treattment of mauth cancer
Hii, I am 18 yrs old girl my last molar of upper jaw and lower of left side is paining also giving sensation I have also done treatment which is root canal (no cap cuz gum/skin was in tooth and my doctor said I too young to cut that skin part but she will do after 6 months) and other one is only filling ceramic but both are painful together. I sometimes get scared that I have oral cancer
Can u help me
I have it
I never want to smile i getting shame of my mouth :(
I have a huge white spot on my inner mouth cheek spreading to my lip now,it's just getting bigger as months pass & it doesn't hurt but my teeth have just been falling out left & right & I don't have the money to go to the dentist
What about leukoplakia
leukoplakia is not a cancer. However in some cases it can develop into cancer so it is concered as precancerous state. Luckily this is pretty rare but leukoplakia should always be treated because of the cancer risk.
you can get it from tooth implants
Can you? How?
the metal part of the implant tooth can cause cancer, I know someone that happened to, e@@passportbro904
some of them have a metal bar and that can cause cancer @@passportbro904
Why so. Much tauride?.
I'm here not because I'm curious but coz just last night my tongue started hurting like I bite my tongue and this morning I found 3 small white spots (looks like I bite it)
And just to be sure I googled some early signs of tongue cancer and saw something similar,so here I'm.
Thank you for your video,it is very helpful
I will be going to get it checked out 1st thing tomorrow,I pray it's not anything serious and that it can be treated.
Could be harpies simplex, or a lot of other things. Keep looking. If your under 30 I wouldn't worry to much. Don't take my advice. I'm dying from a rare cancer. 2-3 months and I gone. I did say very rare. Couldn't diagnose me in time. Doctors never herd of it before. 1-2 million come down with this shit. Me and God been talking a lot lately. That's a good thing? I hope...
@@CarolynDenison sorry to hear that,I don't know how long u will live or if u may get better but I hope you enjoy your life even as it is.
I did went to check it and its suspected to be ulcer,will be going for another test after taking some meds.
Thanks for your words,my pray with you.
@@CarolynDenison please look up tumeric and ginger root❤
@KKH Lufris hey, did it go away?
@@CarolynDenison are you okay? Are you still here? :(
