Hi all, I am 7 months out of treatment for t1nomo t2n1mo tonsil cancer. Had a scan results and they are happy that the node is getting smaller yay. However had a ulcer on tongue right side since treatment .
Today they did a biopsy of it, its very painful, also it has brought back all the old fears and I am spiraling again into fear.
How long does it take for a result and anyone been in a similar position. X
Hi. I am afraid of will probably be a couple of weeks before you get the result. They have to ruin the sample through the path lab then potentially discuss at the MDT and finally find an appointment to discuss the results with you.
I've had a few scares along the way including an unhealing ulcer on my tongue (once reviewed no issues) so I understand the anxiety. Try not to overthink the situation. Fingers crossed all is OK.
Thanks Peter much appreciated. Its an other mountain to climb
