Hi,

I actually have had the same thing, is it on your gum/ teeth line? I got referred to the hospital and the lady actually said it was a granuloma (think that's the correct spelling, think it can be caused by hormones etc) and that it's nothing serious. I actually still have it 8 years later and it bleeds if I knock it but they said if they removed it it could grow back, and it doesn't cause harm but I probably will have it removed eventually.

i hope it's something benign like a granuloma as they are very common. I'd chase the dentist for your referral, and I hope all goes well x

Thank you. Im hoping that it's something similar too. I feel so worried and anxious and think ive basically convinced myself it's cancer! I can't sleep, think straight or stop crying... going into my 9th day ,since referral,without any word of an appointment . Spoke to dental reception who said that it could take weeks but surely not .x

I believe urgent referral if they suspect cancer is an app within 2 weeks. I'd take that as they're not too concerned! I know it's so hard waiting it's actually the worst part. My mum was diagnosed with breast cancer and waiting felt like the longest time of my life. I know when you convince yourself it's something it's so hard to get it out of your head.

I hope you get your appointment through soon, try not to worry yourself or google because it can convince us of all sorts, I know it's difficult when we're anxious, as I'm guilty of this too. Glands can come up with stress too! 

let me know how you get on! I hope you get the news you want x
