New member just diagnosed

i am a new member i have been having regular mouth cancer screenings but this time a biopsy of the tongue has shown changes in cells and there is a growth on the right side of tongue so they are looking at been aggressive in removing the cancer growth.

 

i am sat here so affraid of the unknown.  i have lost so many loved ones to cancer and my mum sadly had mouth cancer and passed away which has got my own alarm bells ringing.

i have had a dreadful year so far lost my partner after 20 odd years to covid now i am facing this on top.

  • i didn't have any symptoms i was going to the dentists as normal for check ups things were fine then he saw something under my tongue to the right.  sent me to hospital where a sample was taken and it came back okay.

     

    the growth seemed to go then a year later went back to dentists and he said it had come back but larger.

     

    the growth is confirmed as cell changes and they are now looking to remove part of the tongue to stop any further spread.

    strange though as the second time it came back i wasn't feeling at all right in myself.

     

    i have lost a stone and half of weight for no reasons and not too clever now so am hoping they resolve this fast.

  • Thanksnfornthe reply aww im sorry 2 hear that hope you get it resolved as soon as possible for u xx
