Misty,

I hope by the time you get this message you have had some response and action on the part of your doctor. I am a 30 year old non smoker, non drinker female and I was diagnosed with carcinoma in situ of the tongue. I was very lucky that my dentist caught it. Unfortunately I waited over 6 weeks for my appointment with an oral pathologist who took one look at it and told me it wasn't good. She did a biopsy that day and I had outpatient surgery within 9 days of my biopsy. The biggest mistake I made was waiting the 6 weeks to get the biopsy. If I could do it all over again I would have pushed harder to get an earlier appointment. It sounds like you have more symptoms than I did....I didn't even know I had anything on my tongue. Please don't wait to get your doctor to respond to your needs.....take action.
Ever since my diagnosis I have learned to be more assertive with my doctors.
I wish you all the best.
Sandra
