question: Hi, I have a pea sized lump on my tongue (or rather in my tongue) to the left size. I have shown a doc a year ago and he said it was probably veins or something similar (I cannot exactly remember what he said but he said it was not serious). It is still there and just as big and today I feel it sore and the top of it the taste buds seem to be joined and a little bit redder. I am making an appt to see a different doctor but am now very worried. Could it be cancer?
