first tongue biopsy

Hi and welcome ,the first thing i knew about mine was when my lymph glands were swollen a routine check at the doctors turned into a journey i did not want to go on ,after a visit to ENT i had an appointment for a biopsy within a few days the outcome was a squamous cell carcinoma about 2.5 cm in size .While i was waiting for the biopsy results i went on holiday for 2 weeks and by the time i came back the results were in after that it was all go .I hope yours is not something sinister just try and keep busy and dont go on google there is a lot of false info out there .Let us know how you go on the people on here are very supportive good luck .

Hi Fi, the dentist found a lump in my neck, which turned out to be tonsil cancer. Hopefully yours will turn out to be nothing to worry about. However, if it was cancer be assured that head and neck cancers are very curable, I'm over 8 years post treatment still here alive and kicking, as many are on this site. Let us know how you get on, we're all here to help if we can.
