What Are The Symptoms Of Cancer?

I have a white looking skin tag on the side of my tongue, it is flat and it looks like it has little red lines going through it. It is being held on my tongue with just a small piece of skin. I am so stressed out about it possibly being cancer. Can someone please help me. I have a dr appt next week but I don't know if I can wait with the not knowing

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have leukoplakia, hyperkeratosis or squamous cell carcinoma. You should go for biopsy of that area. Biopsy will give you exact diagnosis. Symptoms of cancer are weight loss, weakness, anorexia, local mass or lump etc. Don't worry much about that. Consult your doctor and go for biopsy. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
