Dear Helen,
And don't forget "dance as though no one were watching" I think a dance is in order here. Helen, I know precious little about medical care in the UK but is it possible to get an earlier appt. re:your tongue? Oct 28th is a bit of a wait when you are this scared. Keep writing and let us know, OK? It may be a panic attack but it is very real to you right now and that is scarey. Hang with us.
Love
Judy U
