Tongue biopsy results? Anyone know how long it will take ?

Hi 

had two lumps removed out my tongue on the 17th

Healing fast. Stitches still there no pain but irritation with stitches sticking out even thought they feel soft 

How long is it for results? 
how long did everyone else wait ?

  • Hi Colin 

    glad to hear your ok :)

    thanks for the reply 

    sounds like your op must of been painful, does that mean they removed the tissue and then stitched it back up leaving you like tongue tied. must of been hard to get used to it 

    if you don't mine me asking , did you have to have other treatments, 

     

    the stitches have all gone now and healed fine 

    take care 

     

  • Hi again,  very little pain after the op.  They lasered it out under the tongue so no stitches,  about 2.5 cm  round and 1cm deep,  so that's why my tongue is shorter.   Like I said before I'm getting used to it but my 's' sound is different but not much,  a problem with my speech was my big worry but only my family and friends can tell,  to a stranger they wouldn't pick up on it.  

    They took some lymph nodes out my neck to check, but they were fine.     So that was it, I'm back to see the consultant at the end of the month for a check. 

    Keep in touch,  Colin. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  • Hi Colin 

    oh that does sound like it would be sore, sounds like you coped amazingly with it 

    When I had the lump cut out my son is 5 and he kept saying " what you say " only lasted could of days though 
     

    Good luck for when you go back to see the consultant 

    Keep my fingers crossed for you 

    let us know how you get on 

     

    take care :) 

     

  • Liz, hope you and your family are well.      I expect you're still having your appointment next week, if so I hope it's all good news. 

    We're ok, still at work.    Take care,  Col.

  • Hi Colin 

     

    how are you ? Is your appointment next week too ? 
    hope it all goes well, I thought mine might of been cancelled but it hasn't as of yet. 

    Still working but our department is only seeing emergencies so not much to do 

    I hope you and your family are keeping safe with this scary virus 

    take care. Look after yourself 

     

  • My appointment was cancelled but it was just a follow up so that can wait.    We're ok, missing seeing our grandson, but can't risk it.   Our daughter is due with her first any minute,  but we don't know when we'll get to see the baby!     Strange times. 

    Take care and let me know how you get on. Col.

  • awww was it... maybe you Could ask to have your follow up over the phone so you don't have to wait. I know a few hospitals in our area have shut everything but a&e but the one am at still has clinics running till mid April then they are shutting down. Well that's what  the sec told me. 
    I know it's probably nothing to worry about or would of been in sooner so am not panicking now. 
     

    awww must be so hard not seeing your grandson and he must miss you's a lot 

    my 2 sons  Whatspp video call, my 5 year old has high functioning  autism but he doesn't get what's going on still so glad we have  back gardens lol decided to take time off  from work now  I just want to make sure the boys are ok.money isn't everything is it. 

    it must be hard for your daughter, she must be worried about going out to hospitals with the virus. 
    You could try video call her to see the baby when he/she is born. I hope you get to see your grandson  very soon and the new baby when he/she arrives 

    You and your family stay safe 

     


     

  • Liz, how are you doing, safe I hope along with the rest of your family.    Any word back about your results.     We're all ok. especially with the new arrival, a girl on Saturday night. Both doing fine. 

    Keep in touch,  Col.

  • Hi Colin 

    congratulations on the birth of your lovely granddaughter. so happy it all when well for you's 
    hope your all keeping safe, 

    they cancelled  it the morning of the appointment :-/ the sec said I will get another appointment so it can't be anythin to worry about , got a letter to ring endoscopy  ? Don't know why that would be- can't see why I would need a camera. can't seem to get through to anyone to ask why when I have phone the last two days it's just rang out and then gone to an answer machine. 

     

    have you heard anything on your follow up ?

    stay safe 

    hopefully this will be all over soon 



     

  • I had quite a big chunk taken out of my tongue on the 9th july, I get my results tomorrow,  that's a month after. I think this is too long to wait. I will update the results when I get them.
