Hi, I have had a lump on my tongue for over 2 months. I have tried everything to get rid of it. I initially thought it was a canker or an ulcer. I have been so worried about it. In the end, I decided to go to the doctors about it. He examined the lump, and said he wants me to see a max face professional asap, because he thinks it may be cancerous. I have been worried sick ever since. In my mind, I have been justifying that it could be something else, like it could be to do with my diabetes, or my fibromyalgia (I take naproxen for it, and read that it can delay healing with things like mouth ulcers) All kinds of things are going through my mind. At the moment, the lump is the only symptom I have got, is that because it is the early  stages of cancer? Or is it because it's something less sinister? I am worrying myself sick about it. I wished I had asked the doctor more questions about it, but the whole appointment seemed very rushed. Could the doctor have referred me to rule cancer out, or is it because he thinks I have actually got cancer?
