I have a small white lump at the back of my tongue on my left hand side. It's on the side not on top and not underneath. It's been there for just over a year. I thought it was a cyst or an ulcer so I ignored it. Then I thought I'll mention it to my doctor next time I see her, then covid hit the UK so I couldn't get an appointment. The doctor took one look and referred me to a dental surgeon. The dental surgeon says I need a biopsy and sure enough 2 day later I got my appointment in. The speed of this has taken me by surprise and since most NHS ops are being cancelled I assume they think its cancer. I didn't ask as I didn't really want to hear it. Anyone know what will happen during the biopsy, will it hurt, will I be able to go back to work and will it affect my speaking and eating?
Ps I've told my family and friends I'm getting a cyst removed because I can't bare to worry them, especially my daughter.
