Went to the Dental hospital after a two week referral.for a lump on my tongue, appointment was actually after four weeks. Was checked and the lady said she didn't think it was anything to worry about but called in consultant( who when I checked his name later is one of their top lecturers on oral health) he examined the lump and said nothing to worry about and that I'd be booked in for a routine ultrasound and see him after. I said to the lady before I left so its not cancer then and she said no. I went away relieved but as the days wen on still a bit concerned how they could tell by just looking at it. So yesterday finally two months later had the Ultrascan, scanned my Lymph node and tongue said nodes all fine and thought tongue could have been trauma of some kind, so again relieved, she said she just have a word with the consultant, he came in a different one this time. He said he couldn't be sure what it was and he arrange a biopsy and mark it urgent, great we go on holiday abroad on Tuesday for 16 nights so not going to be done until after. Just feel cross told it was nothing when they should have done a biopsy in the first place.
