ok so a year ago I noticed a lump that disappears and comes back every so often,Its located on my soft pallette, no pain until recently . Its now styed with me for over a month and the area around it is painful.
Could this be mouth cancer? I am having it checked out on Monday but amd still very very worried. I was a light smoker........

Hello peanutbutter

It is not possible to make a diagnosis over the Internet but doesn't sound like you are describing a mouth cancer. It could be a recurrent abscess or minor salivary gland swelling or other. Please see your dentist for a diagnosis. Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes
