Post tongue biopsy

Still waiting for results but worried about lump on my tongue since the biopsy. Will it settle down ? Petrified that it has healed like this and will stay like this ! Maybe will even need it removed! Please god no as the biopsy was 5 days ago and still hurts like mad . My jaw aches and the lump on side is causing discomfort and gets caught in my bite !! 

  • Hi Margot and welcome to the forum.

    I think some of our members who have had this done have said it can take a little while for the tongue to heal but if you're worried do be sure to see your doctor as they'll be able to let you know how your recovery is progressing.

    Waiting for results is always tough but fingers crossed it won't take too long for them to come back.

    Kind regards,
