  • Hi. Have you had a chance to ring the support line. Speaking to somebody there would help. 
    I have said that asymmetry is a description of anatomy. It’s not a diagnosis or a disease or a cancer, please believe me. I’m trying to help. 
    Your biopsy is tomorrow. The surgeon will have some answers then. Make sure you ask and don’t leave till you understand.

  • not sure what to ask him and am i allowed in the biopsy appt 

    Your surgeon should look in to see you before the biopsy

    I've looked at your previous posts  and here are some of the questions you asked us

    Why is my tongue asymmetrical?

    Is there a cyst on the back of my tongue?

    What did the CT show?

    What area is being biopsied?

    Is cancer suspected?

    If not is the biopsy being done to rule it out?

    When will I get the results of the biopsy

    Are you getting an anaesthetic?

  • Ive wrote them down as not good st talking will he allow me to ask when its an appt for a procedure 

  • Yes. Ask before he starts. Don't leave till you have answers. I'm afraid there are just times when you have to put your foot down. Good luck for today
