Sandra,

I haven't *met* another Sandra for years; now suddenly they seem to be everywhere!

Whether the sore throat is related to your tongue lesion or not is not the point. Your sore throat is obviously causing you a great deal of worry. You don't need more worry. If I were you I would insist (squeaky wheel and all that) that a doctor look at your throat carefully, not necessarily as part of the lesion problem but as a health concern in itself.

If you don't have someone accompanying you to the doctor's office and going in with you, find someone. That person can act on your behalf and ask for information and clarification at a time when you are too anxious to be your strongest self. Also two sets of ears are better than one.

Get an answer from someone about your throat! It is not silly.
