Waiting for Biopsy Results

Hi All, 

 

HI Everyone, hope you are all well. My desntist found a white patch on my tounge in June last year, kept an eye on it and then refered me to the dental hosipital, when I had my appointment at the hospital they said they thought it was just Keratotis however because of my age (38) and the fact that I drank and smoked they offered a Biopsy, which i had done last week Friday 24th July, i have a video appointment booked for 31st August to get the results, this seems quite a long time? would I get a call if it was anything more sinister? On top of this over the last few months I have had a sticky left ear, i had problems with my left ear when i was yonger (19) (Gromits and a simple mastoidectomy as had cronic ear infections) but not had a single problem since then.  i called the doctor about this about 3 weeks ago who put me on drops and then antibiotics which i am just about to finish, it hasnt got any better and my hearing has been muffeld in that ear since last Thursday? 23rd. i did mention the biopsy to the doctor who said they would not be connected but i am startig to feel they may be? any advice would be great. Thanks all. 

  • Hello Sds8211, 

    It's good that you have been given a video appointment to get your results. If you are worried about it, do give them a call and ask whether this means that anything sinister has definitely been ruled out. As the drops and antibiotics don't seem to have had any effect, it would be worth giving your doctor a call and mentioning that your hearing has now become muffled.

    I hope you manage to get this sorted soon as it must be uncomfortable for you. 

    Best wishes,
