My ent wrote a report after telling me it was a cyst and didnt look suspiciois on the report it says slight aysmetrical on the tongue is this always càncer , ive to have a mro and a biopsy , i am absolutely petrified about the outcome as i dont really have much support and not sure how i will cope .

  • I think the chances of it being a cancer having had the ENT first look are relatively low.  Our ENT doctors are good at recognising cancers, but need the results of the scientific tests to be 100% sure - hence the MRI and biopsy.

  • Wishing you all the best and like Peter said try not to worry and best support to have is right here on this Forum as these guys are amazing and i would be lost withpit this forum as just read everything and ask if im unsure of anything.

  • Hi again. 
     Your ENT is being thorough, as he should be. Try not to second guess the result, as I said in your other thread, 90% of referrals are not cancer. 
    So get on with the madness of Christmas. Have you any plans? .

  • Thank you i am very highly stressed so then j get awful fatigue and other symptoms and get me thinking i do have cancer but i think that is just my mental health which im trying to get a grip on im not a persom that just goes with the flow i get very anxious and this is all petrying me to the extent if i got a cancer doagnosis im not sure how i would  cope xxx seeing it say sligh assymetrical tongue has freaked me out a lot.and dont really have a lot of support at home they just keep saying it will be ok 

    Thanks for listening 

  • they just keep saying it will be ok 

    It’s because they don’t know what else to say. I guess if you are an anxious person it’s not hard to wear others out. My daughter has a health anxiety. She is 40 and I still spend hours on the phone trying to talk her down. I don’t mind, I’m her mother. I’m sure if anything serious emerges your family will rally round.
