Awaiting results

I'm not sure if this the right place to post. But I'm currently awaiting my biopsy results. 
 

I had a tongue biopsy due to a ulcer that hadn't healed over 8 weeks and continued to grow, my gp made a urgent referral for me with the hospital, the test took place almost three weeks ago. I received a letter saying I had to go in to discuss my results and that my appointment will be with a oncologist. Since ethe. I've been panicking a lot and thinking the worse. I'm 27 and have two children under 4. I guess I'm trying to ask does a oncology appointment necessarily mean it is cancer? Or is it possible I'm just seeing one because of what they were testing for? My appointment for my results isn't for another two weeks, and I just don't know what to do, I can't sleep or eat and keep finding myself crying, I'm afraid it's bad news and I'll miss out on seeing my children grow up.

  • Hello ConfusedBean,

    I'm sorry you've been feeling this way and I understand that the waiting doesn't help, but there are some tips here that you cope with things. There's no way of knowing at the moment so try not to think this worst, as this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better.

    I hope this helps,
