Hello Sam, and thank you for posting.

I am sorry to hear about your worries about your dad and a potential diagnosis of tongue cancer.

Waiting for tests, scans, and results can be difficult but unfortunately, until your father sees the doctors it is hard to say exactly what may be going on for him. Once they know what is the cause of the lump the doctors will create a plan suitable for your dad. Many different treatments can be used, depending on what the doctors find. 

Take care Sam. and I hope your dad knows more soon. 

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

Sarah.
