My lump

  1. Hey everyone, I just wanted some advice really, I'm awaiting biopsy results for the lump in my mouth, my first appointment for this whole lump thing was 17th October when my GP referred me asap.  I had a peek today as my mouth feels like it's stuffed with cotton wool balls and now my back teeth are loose.  I was alarmed at how much it has grown and spread - I'm amazed how this thing behaved well for over 8 months (yes I ignored it) but the minute the C word is mentioned it desides to take over my mouth, is this normal? Xx

    It may be how it’s progressing. Cancer can loosen teeth. It’s a matter of waiting now I’m afraid. If it is a tumour it will be staged once you get a scan. Mouth cancer is not only treatable but curable so hold onto that. Hugs
