Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 3 | Hi all, I'm in such a dark place of worrying now before my biopsy surgery that I don't have anyone to come to. I'm sorry if my post takes away the time for those really in need. a month ago, I noticed that whenever i eat sore/spicy/hot food or when i'm stressed out, there would be 2 small circular bubbles swell up right next to each other on my soft palate. I would feel discomfort when they swell up. the swelling go down after a few hours or with cold water. Then that area would look like normal. I went to 2 ENT, and 2 Oral Surgeon. They think it's blocked salivary gland, so tell me to wait for it to heal. Now the sore/bubbles still intermittently go up. So the first ENT decided to remove that area and biopsy it this coming Monday. Yesterday evenning, I was munching on some sour fruits and spicy food for dinner. I ddin't check it but this morning, when i looked into my mouth, one of the sore look like it has old brown blood on top of it. I"m freak out because it mean it was bleeding or something. I can't move the surgery date sooner. So now i'm stuck in this panic mode for the next 3 days. Time cannot come any sooner  Oral cancer sore bleed right? thanks for reading | | | | | Joined: Oct 2015 Posts: 3 Member | | OP Member

Best wishes.

thanks for your kind words. I'll try to survive the next week until I get my biopsy surgery and result back.

Joined: Apr 2015 Posts: 91 | I am no expert but when I have had some little something appear in my mouth and it feels like a tender little sore...it has gone away on it's own. One time the doctor told me it was a swollen taste bud. I like spicy/hot food too. Maybe don't eat those foods for a bit. Good luck with your biopsy!! Try not to worry. It's hard to do, I know!
