Worried

Hi , my mum has a tumour behind the tounge, she stopped treatment on the 15th October last year, still cannot eat or drink and has a RIG in place, she has recently told me she feels a lump in her mouth again? It's really worried me ,she says it's new.

She is going for a PET scan tomorrow and sees the consultant on the 25th Jan.

 

  • I'm sorry your mum has potentially found another lump in her mouth Happy-go-lucky.

    It's completely understandable why you're worried but I hope the consultant will be able to give you more information about this, and ease your mind, next week.

    If either of you would like to discuss your mum's situation with one of our cancer nurses before you see the consultant on the 25th then you're welcome to give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I really hope this new lump is no cause for concern and wish your mum a healthy and speedy recovery.

    Best wishes to you both,
