Inner cheek biopsy

Hello,

 

These white patches appeared on my tongue and are now on my cheek. I went to the doctors and got referred to a specialist and had a biopsy of the inner cheek the other day. I just got a letter through to tell me that I have a phone call appointment on the 21st of October. It's so long to wait and I can't help but panic about what the result is going to be. What is everyone else's experience with this? 
 

thank you

  • Hello Katie_P, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy results. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
