Welcome to OCF! Im hoping this turns out to be nothing serious! You are young and with 2 young children cancer is the last thing that you should have to be concerned with.

Im hoping you do not have base of tongue cancer (BOT). If you would then you will want to be treated at the best medical establishment specializing in cancer that you can find. Just remember, surgeons cut and radiation doctors will recommend radiation. Each specialist will always tell you their way is the bast. Here in the US we have some top comprehensive cancer centers where all the specialists get together and discuss each individual case as a team, they meet and develop a treatment plan that has the patients best interest in mind instead of a single doctor recommending their own expertise. If you have something like that available where you are then that usually is the very best place to get treated. We do have a few members from your area so maybe they will be able to help you with this.

If it would be cancerous, people will offer their assistance. Write down every single person's name and number and tell them when the time comes you will let them know what they can do. With having 2 young children something so simple as taking the kids out to the playground, a playdate afternoon or taking them to the movies could be very helpful. There are all kinds of small things that you could need help with if you would need cancer treatments. Many small things add up like picking up prescriptions from the pharmacy, grocery shopping, laundry, walking the dog, taking out the trash, cooking meals for the family, etc. Thats why every single person can be of some help when the time comes. But thats getting way ahead of everything. Lets just hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

Please keep us posted. Best wishes!!
