That is great news. I have had multiple fears in the past. I had my regular six month dental check up last week and pointed a couple trouble spots from the past and nothing going on. So that was good news.

I asked a good freidn of mine who is a dentist this question: if I were to quit today, what are the chances I would get mouth cancer. His answer: negligible.

So another reason to stay quit. Still there are studies that says these things can come back years later. I have had my lipped burned off four times from sun damage. I don't need anything inside the mouth. Keep your regular denatl appointment and make sure they check for oral cancer.

Whjile we are on the subject of oral cancer, believe it or not, oral sex is a bigger threat than dip if the partner has veneral warts. Life really sucks, doesn't it?

Right on dude...I feel like I should say congratulations on your clean bill of health, but something about that seems a little off, lol...congratulations...you tried to give yourself cancer and you failed...By no means am I making light of your current or past situation, I have had a couple of unexplained sores in my mouth in the past and the anxiety is enough to almost kill you. So, I'm just posting up to tell you that I'm glad that your current rollercoaster ride has ended.. I know I never want to ride that bitch again, I'm sure you don't either.

Man that's great to hear Chris.

Makes me want to go to an ENT doc for a post quit check-up. Just because.

Just got back from the doctor (doctors actually). I went to my family physician in the morning and got looked at by both the internal and the attending physician. Both of them thought that i had nothing to be concerned about, but in lieu of my history with dip they referred me to an ENT practice to get some more experienced eyes. Luckily the ENT doc could see me early afternoon. i did not eat lunch i was so nervous. At the end of the day the ENT folks did a thorough check of my mouth, tongue, etc and concluded that everything looked great. As far as the sore on the roof of my mouth goes, they were not concerned about it and told me that it looked like nothing. Probably some minor trauma that got irritated and has not healed properly. The color is fine and nothing to be worried about. I am glad i went because they did a real thorough check of my mouth and gave me a clean bill. I had never done that before...was always too afraid of what they might find. I was so freaked out during all this today that my blood pressure actually shot up noticeably. The ENT doc understood... he told me a few stories that made me even more resolute in my quit. One was about a guy who had leukoplacia all around his lip like a full horse shoe. They were actually surprised that i had quit and was in there for a post quit checkup. They said most people they see are acitve users and havent been able to toss the can. Anyway, thanks for the thoughts and prayers. every day that goes by i am more glad to be quit.

CJ, hang in there... Everyone is right.. better safe than sorry... Had an experience with that at 14 days in and still kind of have it...Needless to say, it FREAKED me out until I found out what it was. Mine turned out to be a mucocele.. ( small bump, looks like a clear-bluish blister.. kinda soft ) I had damaged a salivary gland, pinched it.. so my saliva was building up inside there like a blister.. Doc said it will go away.. If not, would be a quick fix with some minor surgery to remove it.... So, hopefully this is something similar for ya.. Hang tight, think positive, get to the doctor, and be glad you are quit!!
