Private Cancer Testing

Hello. I'm seeking help. My partner has had intense tongue pain for the last 2 years. The pain never stops. It is 24/7. As soon as she wakes up, until she is asleep. The pain is spreading and due to family history with cancer, we believe this is cancer. We have used the NHS services but it is too slow and they keep testing for different things. All the tests for other things are always inconclusive. Yet, they refuse to test for cancer. Please, we are desperate. We would like to find a private clinic to test for tongue cancer.

  • Hello Lucasb

    I'm sorry to hear that your partner is dealing with an ongoing health problem that is giving her such pain. It sounds like it's been a difficult time for her and I can understand that you're both desperate for answers. 

    I'd suggest speaking to her GP in the first instance about what private services may be available in your local area as it may be that you will still need a letter from the GP to access them. 

    I do hope that you have some answers soon and that things improve for her. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
