Other than having what I thought was an ulcer I have no symptoms, I don't feel unwell & I'm not in pain so I feel like a bit of a fraud at the moment
The thing about oropharyngeal cancer is that most of us are felled when we are well. It comes out of the blue. One afternoon I was well and by the evening I had cancer. Apart from my head I felt fit as a fiddle.

Hi loopyliz, I too had no symptoms other than an ulcer that didn't heal. I was so fit doing 13 exercise classes a week and walking 8 Kms six days a week so finding out I had tongue cancer really freaked me out plus I felt angry as I ate so well looked after my health and didn't drink or smoke ever so going from totally healthy one day to having tongue cancer the next day was unbelievable. Xx take care
