Please do I have cancer or not 😭😭😭😭
I'm an 18 year old who used to smoke 4 cigarettes a day daily ans drank alot of alcohol, I only smoke 5 cigarettes for there days and 6 cigarettes for 1 day and 2 packs on 2 days. I only did all this for a year but quit. But now I have unhealed long lasting ulcers on tongue and white patches on side of cheeks and a painful lump on throat and under it plus I have sometimes shortness of breath but it's mainly because of chronic cough plus my lower lip has a dark patch in its upper part , I have visited 2 local docs and an ent doctor of 20 years experience but he said it wasn't cancer . But nothing has yet changed do I have cancer . Please let me know the truth 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hello
Non healing ulcer in tongue needs evaluation.
If it is not cancer too, it requires treatment.
Also white patches need observation.
Even chronic cough needs treatment,even though it is not cancer.
Consult a good ENT and Head&neck surgeon
