Good Morning all.
i wi see if you can give me some advice? I have a lump/cyst inside my tongue. It seems to be at the front right of my tongue but moves around slightly. I sometimes feels like it’s quite large and then seems to move. I think I noticed it a few weeks ago when I licked my lips and then didn’t notice again for a few weeks.
I have been to the GP who has put me in the referral list and have an appointment in the hospital this Friday.
I am absolutely terrified that this is cancer, I have gone down a rabbit hole of google which is worrying me even more. I am scared to go to the appointment. My question is ……. What will happen in the appointment, (it says in the letter that no surgeries will take place, so I guess it is just a talk?) If I need a biopsy how long does that take? What is the survival rate?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hugs consultants tend to know what they are looking at, best wishes for the biopsy and enjoy the weekend
. Let us know the results l
