Could Bumps On Tongue Indicate Cancer?

I had two red small bumps removed from my tongue last week and when I got home there was quite a lot of bleeding - I am okay now but felt unwell and sick. I am awaiting the results of my biopsy but am very worried as the bumps had been there for a while

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Lump n the tongue can be squamous cell cancer or some benign lesion. Just wait for biopsy.

If it is benign lesion then no need to worry.
If it is cancer then you need further treatment like chemotherapy.

Wait for the biopsy results. Then plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
