Dear XXXXXX,
your history and symptoms suggest that you may have a condition which may not be a cancer but a pre cancerous condition like Erythroplakia or Leucoplakia. The best thing you have done is that you have left this bad habit. Now it is equally important to visit an Oncosurgeon to rule out the worst.
