I went to my dentist 19/1/22, on 2/2 i had an appointment at the oral cancer department. Tomorrow i will have a biopsy. 

Im confused, when i went for my appt i was greeted by 3 nurses, the Dr called me in as i walked past her office. I was sent for an xray and told not to worry/nothingwas found. It felt like the oral department was totally empty and staff were pleased to have something to do.

Im not sure whats worse, the waiting for an appt or being rushed through the system.  I cant say dont worry because i think we all do.  I have a phobia about hospitals and this appt sends my stress level through the roof.

What i can say is the staff were very calm,  proffesional and reassuring.  Possibly you can contact the hospital, explain how stressed you are and can you put your name down for any cancellation appts or be seen sooner.

Hi Embroidt,

Glad you got seen so quickly although it must have felt nerve wrecking. Good luck with the biopsy.  Hope you get a quick turn around on results also.
