Hello Elen,

Many here comment on how the wait can feel like a lifetime and I hope you get some answers soon. It sounds like you are going through such a difficult time - make sure you mention to your doctor that you are feeling very anxious and that you are having trouble sleeping and eating. I hope you manage to get some rest soon and eat a little.

You have joined the right forum though to talk to others who have been affected by tongue cancer as we have a lot of members here who have been diagnosed with this specific cancer and I am sure they will be around before too long to say hello and share their experience with you. Hopefully they will also have tips for you on how they coped with the long waiting game.

Our nurses are available too on this free number if you need to talk 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

Best wishes,

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
