Hi. I have a question and I hope you all don't mind me coming here for I didnt know anywhere else and came upon this site a couple days ago so here is my question. Recently my b/f noticed a blue line on bottom of my tongue to me it looked like busted blood vessel and has a small bump that you can feel. anyway I remembered that a few mths back I had a place on the side of my tongue that looked like a lump and hurt slightly at first. Upon feeling it and looking you can feel a lump around the size of a bean or a little larger there so I decided to contact Dr about it. I am an ex-smoker quit about 5or 6 yrs ago but started at 12 and didnt stop until 26 or so I am now 33. Back to it the Dr said he didnt like the looks of it and wanted me to have it looked at. thing is I dont have job or insurance and lots of medical debt already from previous visits and last yr. miscarriage so they couldnt find a surgeon to look at it because of this and have made an appt. with ENT dr for tomorrow. I am so worried about this for so many reasons I had a my friend/roommate die at 36 of bone cancer and it was fast and very debilitating I cant even think about it 2 much even though it has been yrs. ago the things that happened. I am scared that it will be cancer and because of no money and insurance I will be written off and not receive the kind of treatment I would need. Not even sure if I have asked a question and sry so long. Does this sound like possible tongue cancer and any thoughts on if it is how I will proceed considering the financial circumstances that I have. Any thoughts or feelings will be appreciated. thank you and God bless
