Had a Biopsy of my Tongue

Your test will be definitive and I know the wait is hard. I had nearly the same experience and I was persistent with different doctors and dentists until a very experienced PA in the ENT office scoped me and said he could see a slight un-eveness at the base of my tongue. Biopsy revealed HPV SCC (squamous cell carcinoma). My ENT calls it an "innie" because the tumor grew down and in toward my tonsil. It was early, and it is treatable. Keep us all posted - this is a great community for support and learning how to deal with all the associated crap. Peace be with you.

About the same experience however mine is HPV negative so I have read harder to treat and not as good of prognosis. However hopefully it was caught early and am awaiting appointment with cancer center. Prayers
