I'm very sorry about your diagnosis. This must be very tough, especially with a little one on the way.

I am so sorry to see that you have been diagnosed with mouth cancer at such a young age and also while pregnant. Have the doctors/consultants given you much insight as to treatment plans whilst being pregnant? Can I ask if you don't mind, what were your symptoms and did it take long to get a referral to have this checked out? Xx
Yes I am having surgery to remove the tumour Tuesday next week. I had a ulcer type thing on my tongue which didn't go away. Once I got pregnant it grew a lot and very quickly thank you growth hormones. Xx
