Hi everyone....I have an appt tomorrow, finally and am really scared. It's with a dentist....it's been a long story but to cut it short, I went to the docs twice weeks ago, once re my tongue and secondly re my gum! The second time the doc was totally dismissive and washed her hands of it saying I should see a dentist. Got on with that, registered (had to go private as no dentists seem to be taking NHS patients at the moment) and was given an appt on 15th July. This was then cancelled as the dentist had to self isolate. Next appt given for tomorrow.

The reason I am really scared now is that, should it be sinister, oral cancer is fast moving and time is paramount. It has been so long getting to this point!!! And I understand success rate is not good unless caught early. Also, the treatment etc. is horrifically invasive and disfiguring.

My question is, is there anybody out there who could tell me of their experiences re biopsies, treatment etc. Dr Google is terrifying so I have stopped!

Thank you
