Hi

I had similar issues with being diagnosed. Nothing could be found with all the blood test etc. They were going to sign me off but I explained that I knew something was wrong and after a reluctantly agreed to MRI I was diagnosed with a T2 cancer in the base of the tongue. 2 weeks into RT/Chemo and feeling good. Bit sore physically but keeping strong mentally.Treatment is my friend. Each day the cancer gets weaker while I get stronger

Good luck

Hi Nick

i went for more biopsies this week and they removed a bed tooth, they said this was just in case I needed RT. 

I get my final results and treatment plan on July 6th. 

Can I ask you how you are coping with it all. since I was diagnosed I feel people are avoiding me, I feel isolated and probably getting depressed. 

How many circles of RT and chemo are you receiving.

sorry for all the questions.

keep strong x

kind regards

With all the coronavirus going off I don't really know what to do. I'm not registered with a dentist but for the past 2 weeks or so I have had what looks like a hole in my tongue. This has been very uncomfortable and painful. I've been waking up in the middle of the night with it burning

Any advice

Hi Sarahlou

I noticed youve posted on an old thread.You would get more replies if you start a new thread.

I have had oral cancer myself so if I can be of any help.

Do you have a GP? Give them a call I dont know if they are consulting as normal but probably not.

Is there a possibility you have a rough tooth? You would be surprised how many people get sores due to this. Rule of thumb if a sore is non healed in three weeks get it checked out.

Holding warm salty water in your mouth is good for soothing and promotes healing, use it as often as you can. If no improvement then get an appointment.

Take care and good luck xx
