Oral cancer survivor describes her personal journey

[@DaifosGo]

When I was 21 years old diagnosed with tongue cancer, too. And I didn't smoke, drink or have HPV. Now I'm 22 years and I'm still on treatment.

I’m going through this with my sister she’s 38, eats healthy, works out, doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, no HPV no risk factors and yet she was diagnosed and now idk how long I’ll have her for it’s BS 💔😩😭

what treatments are you on?

[@lindamastropietro4429]

My father kept telling me his jaws were irritated and I assumed it was because of his dentures. I took him to his GP and he said it looked like cancer so I took him to a dentist and they checked his mouth and it was cancer they had to take out his jaw on the right side. He then got lung cancer.

Went to 2 different dentist neither checked for cancer however one sent me to an ENT -no results yet - good luck to you Susan

How are you

[@27mattlynch]

My adopted mom who was a dental hygienist died from mouth cancer .. she was 60 😢 It was a pretty shitty way to die …

[@colleenjeffries3334]

Drinking, chewing tobacco, snuff, and HPV.

[@regeniamartin7452]

Also, radiation from the sun.

[@clairegibbons7805]

Aside from smoking, what are some other risk factors?

[@donnadavis235]

Mouth wash, food, etc and LIFE!

[@MyLogHomeLife]

Alcohol, chewing tobacco or dip, human papilloma virus, and genetic factors. Also, erosive oral lichen Planus leaves those with it at higher risk of oral cancers.

[@patsywhite9346]

HPV virus

[@regeniamartin7452]

Some risk factors: HPV, family history of cancer. I'm not a drinker, haven't smoked in 36 years. Now I will die of oral cancer on my lips and behind my lips. Treatment, besides chemo and radiation. They are removing my lips and cheeks. Other cancers can be covered up with clothing, but not with oral cancer. Besides being in pain, it's a horrible way to die, physically and mentally. I hope Jehovah and Jesus call me from the grave and I will answer. I will live again without tears, mourning and outcry. (Revelation 21:3 &4)
