Is Cancer Related With Bumps On Tongue And Throat With Leukoplakia?
I have been very worried lately as to whether I have cancer or not. I have Leukoplakia from smoking but I am noticing tiny bumps towards the back of my tongue leading into my throat. When I swallow, it almost feel like somethings back there, and every now and then it burns slightly as if the inside of my throat is being scraped. Does this sound like cancer?
