Hello! I went to the dentist 2 weeks ago for a cleaning and during the pre-cancer screening they found a small circular white bump on the side of my tongue. It really looks like a white pimple. I was told to wait 2 weeks and if it was still there to come back in. Its been 2 weeks, its still there, and after looking at it the dentist set an appointment to see an oral surgeon for this upcoming Monday.

My heart has been a little more than heavy today and my mind is racing with worst case scenarios. I've read all the checklists of symptoms and in addition to the small bump I've had the feeling of something stuck in the back of my throat. Any thoughts?

The appointment with the oral surgeon is on Monday and until then I'm going to have to figure out how to not think about it and get on with life.
