For the last 6 weeks I have been driving myself insane and stressing out about lump on the roof of my mouth that I found… After 2 Dentists and 4 Doctors all saying they weren't worried in the slightest I trudged back down the docs on Tuesday this week…. I had in the meantime convinced myself I had developed the incredibly rare Salivary Gland Cancer…
After a long chat with my GP and my persuasion she referred me to an oral specialist… I asked to go private so I would get seen quicker.
I had my appointment this morning, he done an intensive examination of my mouth, felt where the lump was (which is minuscule) and decided there is nothing wrong and he had no concerns at all.
He did offer me the opportunity to have an MRI scan to reassure me further but whilst sat there I decided No! that would be just another reassurance seeking behaviour and have decided to just take his word for it and all the other dentists and GP's left in the wake behind him! haha
Now my pockets are very much lighter…. haha
I am not going to lie, the doubts have already crept in from this morning about whether I should have took him up on the offer of an MRI but I know its just anxiety trying to creep in again…
Today is the first day of the rest of my life...
