I'm not saying that what you noticed is nothing, but there are anatomical bumps on the tongue that are always there. Sometimes people, even those that never had cancer, happen to notice these bumps suddenly. I am hoping that what you feel are just papillae that have always been there.
Please let us know what you find out and good luck.
