Tongue cancer

I was diagnosed with mouth cancer last year I got a piece of my tongue removed. I always get nervous and emotional when I go to my appointment  this next appointment i have to get a scan of my  neck  to check my lymph nodes . I'm very emotional and stressed I'm wondering if I should seek counselling 

  • Hi Annie and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    Waiting for tests and results can prove to be a stressful time but if you feel like it is impacting on your daily life then maybe you could book an appointment to discuss this with your GP and see what options are available to you. We also have some general information about counselling on our website just here if you'd like to have a look and see if you think it's right for you.

    Many of our members have been in similar situations so will understand how you are feeling at the moment and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    I hope your next appointment goes well Annie and remember that we're always here if you need us.

    Kind regards,
