I’ve had an abrasion and lumps in my inner lower jaw since the beginning of March. I had antibiotics which took away an infection but still have the painful abrasion and lumps.

I spoke to the GP on Thursday early afternoon who has referred me to the doctor-dentist specialist to see if it’s cancer. I was told they would contact me within two weeks. By mid afternoon I had a lump in my throat and the tip of my tongue was numb. Today I noticed my upper right outside gum is numb, and my gums are going white. I think my tongue is getting more numb. My lips are going numb and so is the rest of my gums.

I’ve been shocked at the speed of the change of symptoms. Is there any way I can be seen before two weeks?
