:noangel:Hello to you all and upe you all haveing a good day today. My first post here. Just thought I would say hello! I think I have to admit I have a problem. I am not sure when this started. Basically obssessing with oral cancer. My grandfather had throat cancer (survived it), My other Grandfather died of cancer and recently someone dear ( a friends Father) passed away with cancer. I am an outgoing young woman in her 30s who is very strong and outgoing - and my friends have little idea of that anxiety inside. I thought I had got over it bt last night started running tongue aroun floor of mouth and one side felt more lumpy and swollen then the other. Then gently felt with my finger tips and one side ever so slightly larger then the other. Anyway its those two lines of muscle and ducts that are on the floor of the mouth under the tongue. No ulcer or weird patch and yet I managed ot have a majoy panic attack that took about 3 hours to come down from. But of course this is just the latest. I have geographic tongue and with it all kinds of weird mouth symptons. A summer of ulcers (that have receded thank goodness), swollen tonsils and a feeling of plugged of cattah form back of nose down throat. I spent all winter examining back of tongue for unusal lumps and bumps. I saw an ENT who assure dme all was well but suspected allergies. So now this week I am freaking out over floor of mouth under tongue. I dreamt my Mum had oral cancer. Nice. Its just weird isnt it? By day professional, outgoing and pretty normal. Inside...all this worry which is getting obessive. I dont know wether its grief or anxiety. Anyway I had to share this and say thank you for a great site.
