Anyone still watching this video please listen to me. This is the year 2023, if you have a sore in your month that dies not heal in 2 weeks, go see your dentist. If he does a biopsy and it turns out to be dysplasia or squamous cell carcinoma. Do not and I repeat do not let doctors send you on a goose chase. Go straight to an ENT ORAL surgeon. Do not take no for a answer. I was sent on yhis goose chase. I waited on appointments and one year today I was diagnosed early and a great chance for easy treatment no big deal. I sit right now waiting on a surgery two weeks from now to have one half of my tongue removed and reconstructed from skin and muscle from my skinny arm. And also a neck dissection. I said skinny arm because I haven't been able to ear solid food for all this time. Oh yeah I forgot to mention this will be my second surgery because doctors missed a cancer cell and it came back. I am grateful to be alive most days ( I am in horrible pain is why I said that). For now I am hurt and angry because the health care failed me.
