Tongue biopsy wait

Hi all. I had an excisional biopsy earlier this week to remove a small lump in my tongue. I've just had a telephone appointment through for just after Christmas. Presumably if cancer had been detected they would have given me an appointment sooner than that or is that just wishful thinking? I'd be grateful for your views based on your own experience or knowledge of biopsy results.

  • Hi Podsy and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm glad you've got an appointment through to follow up on your biopsy although I'm sorry it's just over a month away.

    Hopefully some of our members will stop by soon to share their experiences but in the meantime we're thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    Wishing you all the best with your recovery from your biopsy Podsy.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
