On weds of this week I had a mouth/throat Biopsy after an appointment prior at hospital after a referral from my dentist around 5 weeks ago now. I have a rubbish autoimmune system and so am used to having regular mouth ulcers which although unpleasant I have never really taken notice of. The biopsy was tricky as the area was right at the back of my mouth on the fleshy bit before my throat under my tongue. Two injections and some discomfort and then after stitches it was done. But I think I was too shaken to ask when offered the chance. I think he implied that at least the hospital is brilliant with knowledge and treatment. But I don't know if he meant should it be cancer or if he thought it was I haven't been able to eat properly since and it's uncomfortable to swallow. Not sure what to think as made the mistake of googling mouth/throat cancer and I have up to two weeks to wait for results although he has made an appointment with the hospital as a follow up regardless. I'm and 56 a mother of 2 kids in their 20's now. But for the first time I am now feeling scared. I would like to think if I have throat cancer it is not the beginning of the end ? I don't drink or smoke ( although I did many years ago. Any advice to deal with this if it's bad news?
Thank you !
