Hi Bonnie

25% of mouth cancer cases have no history of smoking or drinking, so "self-awareness is the key to early detection".

Please see: What is a Biopsy?

Best wishes

<<,I think u get mouth cancer if you have smoked for years and years i have only done it for 6!>>.

I have never ever smoked nor even held a cigarette and I got it. I had the occasional glass of wine at celebrations. If you smoke you have an even greater chance of getting it. SO STOP NOW!

Believe me the treatment is grim - being dead even worse. Give it up now and stop kidding yourself. Everyone is at risk smokers and non smokers and drinkers and non drinkers - it's called life. BUT YOU WON'T HELP THE ODDS BY SMOKING OR DRINKING.
