Hi Emily,

I'm sorry you and everyone else in this forum have had to go through what you have.

I'm hoping it does turn out to be something benign and I can stop worrying, as I'm not helping myself and it's making me feel sick just thinking about it. Whilst its more likely it's something completely innocent, the fact that I'm fully capable of having cancer is what keeps playing through my mind and is now fully stuck in there, which may it may not be a good thing; depending on what results I get a when I do finally get properly tested.

That and the fact that I do not get ill, have never had a problem with my tongue before and only ever had a sore throat for 2 weeks at most, and that time I had strep throat (when I was about 14 I think).
