Tell them!! : I am unaware of a link between bulemia and mouth cancer. Your doctors must know about your history to best help you! This is a life long condition which needs treatment, mostly psychological if you are recovering, not currently purging. Proactive treatment is necessary to help you avoid a relapse. With proper treatment your future is bright! You will be at risk to relapse with stress of life
