Hello,

I am a final year student at uni, for coming up a year now I have had spots of my tongue, my dentist told me to talk with the dr.

He was less worried because i take inhalers for asthma and forget to wash my mouth out regularly so thought it might just be an infection.

This summer i contacted gp surgery and they wouldn't give me in person appointment to check it (because I explained asthma and inhaler buildup) and was given some thrush medication.

It cleared it up for a while but still have red raises spots and some white ones have come back. So easy to forget about because it doesn't hurt. 

Except now when I drag my tongue against it they start bleeding.

I'm really scared because I have looked up tongue cancer systems and it fits, I will call back Dr's on Monday. 

I guess all I can say is I'm scared and I don't want to talk to friends or family about it because I don't want to stress them out and I'm embarrassed I didn't sort it sooner, nothing felt wrong- it only looks wrong when I happen to check.

I know people here have actual cancer they are actually dealing with. I'm sending my love and I promise I will get this checked.
