Possible mouth cancer

Hello,

 I'm here because I've had an ulcer on my tongue since the beginning of January. I've been taking pictures. I sent them to my GP who said I should come in last week. I did, he looked, then said he'd stick me me down for a biopsy at the hospital and I should get an appointment in 2 weeks. Well, that will be Monday 27th Feb. From last Tuesday when I saw the GP to today, the site is still there which takes it over a month and my tongue is tingling quite a bit.

 Finally plucked up the courage to ask my husband to come with me to the hospital and he's told me it's probably nothing and I should stop worrying. So now I'm thinking I don't want to go because "it's all in my head" apparently. 
 

but now I'm also worried and thinking what the heck is it if it's not cancer? Why is my tongue not healing?? Surely if it was something treatable my GP would've told me?

 My husband has really got in my head. I'm very miserable. I can't wait for Monday but I also don't want to go in case I'm laughed out the door. 
 

Will they tell me there and then if it isn't? 

  • Hi Clou

    You are taking the correct course of action. You really must keep your valuable appointment.

    Nobody will laugh at you whatever the outcome, if it is not cancer then great, they can then go on to treat your toungue for whatever is causing the problem.

    All your emotions are a normal reaction, your husband says exactly the thing any good husband would say to try make his wife feel better. Sometimes it just comes over wrong.
