If you read my last post..It will explain the symptoms I have had. Bascially a soft, wiggly growth on the side of my tongue.

On this past Sunday I went to a walk-in and the doctor said it did not appear to be anything. I asked him what he would classify it as and he told me a lesion, that it looked like I may have bit my tongue, but he was not a specialist and advised me to go to an oral surgeon or ENT.

On Monday I went to an ENT and he said it was nothing. He classified it as a tastebud or he said a word pappilia(spelling?). He said it was not a growth and that it was soft, whatever that means? I asked him if it was cancer and he said no. I said are you 100% sure and he said yes. But, he did make a follow up appointment for a month down the road. I said if it is not gone will you biopsy it and he said yes.

Tuesday I went to see my general doctor and she said it looks like a taste bud and not to worry about it. Well, she could tell I was still concerned. And made an appointment to see an oral surgeon later that day.

Tuesday afternoon I went to see an oral surgeon figuring he will biopsy it. He took one look and said it was a taste bud. I said how can you tell from just looking at it. He said that he has been in practice for over 30 years and if he thought there was a remote chance that it was cancer that he would never dismiss it. He explained that it will not go away, it may get bigger or smaller, but not go away.

So I have been to four differnt doctors from a walkin to a GP, to a ENT to a oral surgeon. All are basically saying it is a taste bud.

Should I forget about this or demand to have a biopsy?
