So I went to the dentist yesterday. The dentist found a lesion that he suspects could be oral cancer, and has made a referral. I am 31, do smoke (have done for around 10 years) although dont particularly drink heavily. I did notice something similar a year or so ago but I dont think I relooked at it - i feel so stupid.
Now there is so much worry going through my head - i feel so upset. Is this normal?
Is the appointment normally before the 2 weeks they say, or will it take about that? Is it worth me paying a private provider to get the results quicker? Once they have done the biopsy, how long will it be until I hear?
Im so scared more than anything and i feel so pathetic for feeling so scared.
