Hi there, I'm new here. I'm 39 4 babies ex smoker who has just noticed a large swelling under the tongue which is actually protruding out over back teeth when I stick out my tongue. Doctor made urgent referral. It's painless and there is some lymph node involvement, mainly the ones under the chin. I'm praying it's just some kind of cyst or salivary gland issue, but I've got a terrible feeling, did anyone else's cancer start on the floor of the mouth? Thanks for listening x

  • I had what looked like an ulcer appeared on the side of my tongue. It became very painful. Apparently there was a lump in the floor of my mouth but as it had caused me no pain I hadn't noticed it

  • Ahhh right ok. Well hopefully if it is anything I've caught it early as I'm extra vigilant with my health. I'm worrying a bit though as my lymph nodes are up in my right armpit, the same side as my neck lump x
