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
