Hi Flutterby, thank you for your message.

Hi

Just want to add my support for Thursday. Had a biopsy myself almost 2 years ago (not my tounge though).

I know how scary it can be but the staff dealing with me were all lovely and very supportive. My only advice is to take someone with you if you aren't already. Your appointment may feel like a bit of a blur & a second person will probably remember more of what is said & fingers crossed it is good news.

lots of hugs
Lynne
 
All the very best for Thursday - you've had to wait a long time. Sounds like good advice from Lynne to take someone with you, these sort of appts are hard to take in I agree. I'm off on holiday on Saturday so will make sure to look before I go to see how you get on. Love Karen.
 
Hope everything has gone okay xxxx
 
Hope the results were good...thinking of you. Xxx
 
Results Of Biopsy

Biopsy result:

Well, It's Not bad news....but not good news?

At this time they do 'Not' know what the Growth/Lesion is?

They say it is found to be...'Non Specific'.

However, they found nothing Nasty at this stage, but they will see me Monthly to monitor the lesion. They hope that it will heal itself, but this could be a long process because I am Diabetic and therefore heal slower.

The Worse case, it may change and turn nasty, they may have to cut it out if it does not appear to heal itself...Best case, that is will heal over some time and remain non threatning.

I go back in July. I just have to keep a eye on any change like bleeding or growing or pain.

So, all in all, still abit in limbo really, but, thank God, at least nothing horrible for now 🙂

Again, Thank you so much for all the kind messages and support....Love you all xXx
 
Nice to hear from you Ellowyne. Hope it ends up healing nicely for you.
 
Hi Ellowyne - glad to hear that it is nothing nasty and hopefully will heal. I really hope that it does so that you can rest easy and not have to keep worrying about it. Sending healing thoughts your way.xx
 
Hi Ellowyne

Very relieved they feel you need to be kept under monitoring, but I agree getting a non specific diagnoses can still leave you in limbo. They always ere on the side of caution which is probably why they are keeping you on thier books so to speak.

The great thing is they are confident you do not need treatment, but hope it will heal given time.

Keep a close eye on it; & don't hesitate to go to GP or back to hospital (I hope they gave you a contact number to call) if you have any worries between now & your next appointment.

Lots of hugs
Lynne
