Hi,

I had Tonsil Cancer a couple of years ago, I had no symptoms what-so-ever until a cyst came up on my neck, I was told by a nurse, that hadn't actually seen it, that it would go down in a couple of weeks and to just keep an eye on it.  After a week, it had gone up not down so I went back to the Drs and requested to see someone this time.

If you don't think that something is right, go back to your Dr, and explain your concerns.  Ask if it can be checked.  If it isn't cancer, then no harm done and if it is then it can be dealt with.  

I hope everything turns out well for you

hi tjhh,

thank you for replying , 

yes I definitely will go back if the pus does not go . the penicillin is hard work on my stomach so I'll be glad to see the back of it .

I do work in a hospital and did have a nurse look at it and she said it does look like tonsillitis and she had it for weeks on end ,but for my own piece of mind I'll be getting it checked .

I think my health anxiety does not help me at all.

sorry to hear that you had this and I hope your recovery is going well . 

.do you mind if I ask if you had any pus or pain? 

thank you very much 

Claire
