Hi everyone, I'm really frightened as I write this. 

I'm 30 years old and have recently been feeling unwell, with a feeling of a lump in my throat for the past couple of weeks. I've been back and forth to the doctor who has said they are sure it's a viral / sinus infection as I've been having headaches, been lethargic etc.

However for the past few months I've noticed a tiny red dot near the end of my tongue, which I mentioned to the doctor today and he has told me to see a dentist.

I'm waiting to see a dentist but after consulting Dr Google I've a very good idea that it could be tongue cancer. 

I'm concerned because the little dot has never caused me any problems, it isn't sore, I don't even think it has changed in size, and was something I was going to get looked at before Covid 19 started, but with the kids being off school and everywhere being closed, it got put on the backburner until I've been feeling so unwell.

I've had my throat examined and the emergency gp felt all my neck and throat and couldn't feel anything, but I'm worried that it's Tongue Cancer and that it'll be too far gone.

I'm an incredibly anxious person and worry about cancer all the time. My husband has been telling me to try to relax and not be so negative, but I feel almost certain that it's cancer. I am worried about how my family will cope with the stress of all this and I don't want to burden my parents and siblings.

Any support would be greatly appreciated ️
