It is really important that you take care of it right away. My son kept putting off doing something about the pain under his tongue until it got so bad that it forced him to get a biopsy and they told him that the reason he had the pain was because the cancer cell was wrapped around a nerve. Not all cancers are accompanied with pain. You might find that there is nothing to worry about but waiting until June to find out only gives you more time to stress out over this. It is better to find out NOW so that if you have to, you can start fighting it right away for a successful outcome. Please do whatever you have to, but do it right away. Your life is important!
