Leukoplakia on sublingual fold

My partner had his biopsy results a few days ago he has dysplasia on a sublingual fold white area which I take is leukoplakia. I have read that leukoplakia on the sublingual fold has a very high risk of becoming malignant I’m so so scared. Anyone suffered from this. Any advice would be helpful 

  • I'm sorry for the amount of worry this is causing you worriedpartner.

    I can see you've received some useful information and advice from some of our members and cancer nurses already and I hope others who understand how're feeling will come along shortly to add their opinions.

    Kind regards,

  • hi awaiting phone call from consultant this week so I can find out the finer details of my partners diagnosis. I was alarmed to read on the science direct website and a couple of others that having displaysia on the floor of mouth and being a non smoker you are at 45% higher risk of it progressing to cancer than if you were a smoker is this true. I also noticed today further back on my partners sublingual fold he has a ulcer looking thing with a red bit beside it I’m scared this is it now progressed to cancer . I’ve read this could be Erythroleukoplakia or Erythroplakia.
