Worried that I have mouth cancer

Hi I have had recurring mouth ulcers for about 2 months now they last for weeks and weeks and go then come back again and last for more weeks and weeks. I finally went to see my doctor about it he said I have to be transferred to hospital urgently to see oral and maxillofacial surgeon which I will be seeing this week. Also had blood tests done but haven't had results back yet. Current mouth ulcers that I have in my mouth I havs had for 5 weeks. I'm worried if it's anything serious. 

  • Hi Pdizzle and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry about the mouth ulcers you've been contending with over the last few months but it's good you're now in the system and will be seeing a specialist about this. I'm not sure when your appointment is this week but I wanted to wish you well and let you know we'll be thinking of you.

    Fingers crossed they can get to the bottom of this for you and that it isn't anything serious.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi

     

    Thank you for the lovely message and support. I went to see the oral surgeon today he just looked at my mouth and the ulcer and said I need to have a biopsy done. Blood test results came back as satisfactory so now they relying on  biopsy to give a result. Hoping I get a biopsy appointment soon so I can find out what's going on and hoping it isn't bad news
