Welcome to the forum. Going to an ENT is a positive step. He/she will probably be able to answer your questions, and if he/she thinks that anything warrants it, a biopsy may be ordered and that’s when you will find out for sure.

We are a group of patients and caregivers who have experience with oral cancer but we do not have the medical training or knowledge to tell you what your problem may be, one way or the other — you won’t want us to anyway since it will be very irresponsible of us if we even attempt to do that.

I would suggest carrying on with life as normal and wait until you have the appointment. No amount of fretting at this point will help. Don’t borrow sorry from tomorrow.
