You now must wait until the results come back to confirm cancer or not.

I'm not sure what they will take a biopsy of, your tongue bump and or your neck mass. I had what is called a FNA (Fine Needle Aspiration) of one swollen node in my neck. It was like a long shot and that was it. It took well over a week for the results to come back. Then they put me under and took a piece of my base of tongue and did the biopsy while I was asleep. My mouth was sore for a weekend.
