What May Cauce Oral Cancer?

Answer 1

I have had symptoms of throat cancer for 10 years, been to ENT at least 4 times. He says it's not cancer, it's been 3 years since my last visit. Could he have diagnosed me when and would I still be alive if it is cancer

Hello Debbie, no worry, if you have had throat cancer since 3 years earlier, you definately are showing tons of symptoms now.
