Hello, I've actually posted about this previously, but rather than bump the thread with new history... here you go:

I've had a "growth" on my soft palate, hanging next to my uvula (theres a little space between the two) for I'm guessing at least 10 years. It seems to be slightly more elongated than it used to. It's about the size of small pea, but flattish. Almost like a disc hanging down from a tab. I've been to countless doctors for other things, dentists, etc, whom have all looked in my mouth and not said a word. However, when I had some allergy testing done maybe 5 years back, the doctor said "you have a growth on your soft palate" and "thats odd". I told him I had had it for years and didn't think twice about it. Fast forward to a sudden panic over it that caused me to see my regular doctor maybe 6 months ago. He basically said he didn't know what it was, but it didn't look cancerous. He said I could eventually go to an ENT to have it removed and biopsied "to make sure". Now, I left well enough alone.. and over the last few days I broke into another sudden panic. I keep telling myself "growth!" ... "biopsy!" ...."cancer!" and feeling like an idiot, like I've signed my death warrant just ignoring it. It's clearly not "normal". I just always guessed it was a second smaller malformed uvula or something. Over the last couple days I've been googling about it and I keep seeing talk about HPV "warts" called Papillomas, other growths called Fibromas and the "Debates" on which can become malignant or not. I've been walking around all these years (and even telling people!) thinking I have two uvulas when in fact I could have some weird cancerous STD wart or whatever else. :( I know I may have made it sound funny, but I'm literally in tears. I can't afford to see a specialist (ENT) without insurance. I'm just so so very very scared. I feel like this is finally what "does it". :(

OH MY GOD... I was just staring at it in the mirror and I notice a tiny black dot. :( :( :( I'm TERRIFIED. No, its not food or anything I tried touching it, washing my mouth, etc. It doesn't come off. Oh my god, this is it. I'm so scared. It's got a little pinhead black dot I've never seen before. :( :( :(
