Hi,
I've been worrying about this small lump in my mouth (upper right gum) for a week now. I hate feeling like this. Yesterday I went to the dentist who had a quick look in my mouth and said there is no lump - but there is!! :weep: I felt it with my tongue and I got a torch and had a look - its like a small smooth mound - but def there. I'm not sure what to do... I'm so worried I have mouth "C". I don't think my dentist is particularly good tbh. Bit of a ropey dental practice. I had treatment for precancerous cells in my cervix 5 years ago caused by HPV - now I'm having a freak-out that its developed in my mouth :weep:
On the other hand I know I'm under a lot of stress atm. I had failed IVF last summer, followed by an ectopic pregnancy in October and now I'm surrounded by boxes because we are moving house. Within that I'm holding down a full time job as a secondary school teacher. I'm having CBT for HA which doesn't seem to be working too well! Although I get the point and idea of CBT, I practice the thought processes.. I can't shake the feeling that something is wrong.
What is the rational thing to do in this situation? I feel like I'm reaching the end of my tether.
I'm (almost) 32 and on no medication.
thanks
