Hello all,
I'm really upset. Around 3 weeks ago I noticed what I thought was a mouth ulcer. I used some gel stuff, didn't work. So I went to my dentist, she wasn't sure what it was but didn't seem concerned and told me to come back in a week. I've since been to see my GP, who also wasn't concerned but gave me steroid mouth wash, which also didn't work.
It's a hard, painful lump on my lower jaw bone (one the inside next to the tongue) and it's an open sore, I poked it with my finger and could actually feel bone!! I'm totally freaking out, I'm convinced this is mouth or bone cancer. It's nothing to do with a tooth, as I have lost that tooth.
I'm seeing the GP again tomorrow and I'm sure he will refer me to an oral surgeon, but that will take forever. I'm so upset, I just want to cry all the time.
I've just had a total thyroidectomy which went well, but I had the thyroid cancer scare hanging over me for months. Now that's all fine and I didn't have cancer, I was so glad. And now this!!!
Has anyone else had something on their jaw bone?
:weep:
Thanks!
