Are Bump On Palate, Bleeding Gums, Weight Loss Symptoms Of Mouth Cancer?
In my mouth, I have a huge bump on my palate. In the past few years, the teeth under my caps have deteriorated. I can no longer chew. My gums bleed - am in constant pain. Put my teeth in with Fixodent. Helps me eat for like 5 minutes. Have lost tons of weight. Have no transportation or insurance. Do you think I may have mouth cancer?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
I advice you to consult oral surgeon and get done clinical examination of oral cavity.
Your all symptoms are suggestive of either
1. Cancer
2. Bacterial infection.
So biopsy from the large swelling and histopathological examination is needed to diagnose and rule out cancer.
So consult oral surgeon and discuss all these.
