throat cancer from chewing tobacco

It my memory serves me well I believe it's a bout a week before you start feeling better or maybe sooner with the short amount of time you had been chewing. But you are right you will have the runs which is your body ridding toxins (de-toxifying) to be become regular. Headaches are normal during this period and if you are lucky enough you won't experience any of the mental symptoms from nicotine withdrawal which included irritability, anxiety, agitation, and even sometimes depression.

The white patches do not scrape off but sometimes it can be scraped away when few days have passed. I am worried its cancer. I intend to quit chewing tomorrow with the help of nicotine gum. My habit isnt huge, about 1 can a week. I just hope I have made the decision to quit in time before cancer has begun. Any feed back about sypmtoms would be appreciated. I have doctors appt in 5 days.

I can honestly say that it is a great feeling being done with nicotine and especially chew. My doctor told me that the reason why mouth cancer from chewing is usually fatal is due to the fact that cancer in your mouth is painless usually and goes undiagnosed for months or longer and by the time they find it, most of the time it has spread to other areas of the mouth and throat. Even worse it can spread to glands and other areas of your body very quickly.

Dear All, I am suffering from mild sore throat ( ON and OFF) for last 1 month. No cough but some times irritation throat and most of the time one of the nasal is blocked. Visited ENT specialist and after checking he confirmed suffering from " PHARYNGITIS" He had given anti-biotics for 5 days and assured recovery after that. After 5 days my problem has almost gone away but still very mild irritation and sore throat is there.

Actually here in india, we have chewing tobacco which we spit after chewing it. Though some doctor advised that tobacco had nothing to do with pancreatitics...however some days that it can lead to pancreatic cancer. I understand that intake of chewing tobacco is unsafe but i am unable to quit it. I have tried lots of time but to no avail. Can chewing tobacco really aggravate my pancreas problem..at the moment i do see any symptoms but fears worse looking at some doctors comments....

Go see a dentist and get your dental hygiene up to date. Chewing tobacco caused a hole in the lip and cancer to a man I used to know.

It’s very difficult to quit from tobacco chewing as it is considered to be more addictive than smoking. The first and foremost thing required in quitting is your own personal commitment then start ramping down your tobacco use. Do also figure out the events that makes your craving for tobacco and remain away from that triggers. Try using alternatives of tobacco with snacks, chewing gum etc.

yes it was that place where i place my tobacco usually. and biopsy in pakistan will be much expensive.... for a middle class man like me i have to sold my house for that but yesterday i got a detailed check up at reputed dental college and hospital they found following things...(sorry for my poor English) 1. as i was thinking of pain the in right bottom of wisdom teeth.... 2. and the dug in the jog was at the upper right portion..... 3. as there are for wisdom teeth ...

I am 28 and have used chewing tobacco for probably 5 years. Last night, I noticed this bump on my inner lip. I'm not going to be able to see a doctor until next week. Obviously, I'm concerned about the obvious, cancer. Can anyone give their thoughts as to whether my concerns are valid? P.S. I tossed out my tin. I'm done with this stuff whether this bump is serious or not.

I have been using snuff/chewing tobacco for about 25 years. Within this time period I was able to quit for about 3 years. It took all I had...literally. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. One bad night at work and I relapse. I am currently going through a lot of stress but I know that I need to quit again. I am very reluctant about using any pharmaceuticals...... does anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry to scare you, but, I think it's more serious than you think! The Oral Sex Cancer Connection Doctors Say There Is a Link Between Oral Sex and Throat Cancer By CATHY BECKER Oct. 15, 2008 122 comments FONT SIZE EMAIL PRINT SHARE RSS Teresa Dillon was surprised to learn four years ago that what she deemed as an average sore throat actually was stage 2 cancer on her tonsil. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has now been linked to oral cancer.

I am 23 years old and as I sit here doing the two things that cause me so much pain (drinking and chewing tobacco) I just can't seem to figure out how to let them go. I have been drinking everyday of my life for the past 8 years and I have been chewing tobacco everyday for the past 9 years. Now I have heard and know that the combo of the two raise your risk for cancer by alot. On average I drink around 5-7 cases of beer a week and I chew around 7 cans a week.

m not a doctor or anything (yet lol) but I have read a little bit about oral cancer to scare my husband out of chewing tobacco.

On the other hand, far and away the most common risk factor for oral cancers is smoking or chewing tobacco. Thus, at this time, the best thing a person can o to avoid oral cancer is to not or stop smoking and other tobacco use. In addition, most dentists now inspect for oral cancers during their regular checkups so see your dentist regularly. There is no test an even if there were, if HPV were detected in your mouth, the significance would be unknown.

Smoke and heat from cigarettes, cigars, and pipes irritate the mucous membranes of the mouth. Use of chewing tobacco or snuff causes irritation from direct contact with the mucous membranes. Heavy alcohol use is another high-risk activity associated with oral cancer. Other risks include poor dental and oral hygiene and chronic irritation (such as that from rough teeth, dentures, or fillings). Some oral cancers begin as leukoplakia or mouth ulcers.

You have a higher chance to getting cancer from smoking than you do from smokeless tobacco. Cigarette smoke contains 60 carcinogens while smokeless tobacco contains 28. Smokeless tobacco is BY NO MEANS safe, and the risk of oral cancer DOES exist, but it is LESS than smoking.

I have on my own tried stopping this really bad habit but all attempts have gone in vain. I have been chewing tobacco from the past 5 years. I also had a drug abuse problem and I was very successful at stopping that. Tobacco should be easier but for some reason, it seems more difficult! Any advice I can get here?

These can still cause cancer and other health problems such as mouth, tongue, and throat cancer; cancer in the esophagus; increased risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke; addiction to nicotine; leukoplakia; receding gums; bone loss around the roots of the teeth; tooth loss; stained teeth and even bad breath. It is important that you weigh all the pros and cons. It is best that you discuss the best option for smoking cessation suited for you with your doctor.

Thanks a lot. I take it you have had the same oral hpv concerns I have. What was the name of the oral hpv test u took. I know it's a long shot but I can't help feeling I have oral cancer.

Even when these aren’t used it contains substances know to cause cancer when burned and inhaled just as tobacco does. Not sure where you are getting your info but....here is an article for you to look over with some info. https://www.medicalnewstoday.

Hi, My father-in-law has been detected with 4th stage Lung Adenocarcinoma, June, this year. He is having a history of tobacco chewing. PET-CT and CT scan suggested that the cancer has spread to lymphnodes and some part of abdomen. He completed his 2 rounds of chemotherapy with Carboplatin and Premetrexed. Initially, he was having headache but now he is completely fine and totally symptomless.

I would not be worried about your liver, since you have only been drinking for two years, and if you are nor having issues after a week of sobriety, you should be OK if you just continue being sober. Chewing tobacco also is not a healthy habit as you are well aware, as it may cause mouth cancer which is not only deadly but is very disfiguring and not very sexy (if you know what I mean). Please think of how young you are and how much you still need to accomplish in life!

can oral cancer come out in all the four sides i.e. upper and lower sides of both cheeks at a given time ? or it starts at a one location and then spreads all over mouth ? my similar question is for leukoplakia also ? can it emerge out at all 4 locations as mentioned above ? I have heard that both are very localised i.e. start at one location . also what is chance of oral cancer in non smoking non tobacco non alcoholic person ?
