Hi. I am scared. I was told last week there is cancer on my regrown tonsil

Hi all. I was told last week there is cancer on my regrown tonsil - Tonsilectomy aged 22. Also Lymph nodes. He said he was v sorry and its v serious. I haveMRi cts and PAnendoscopy next week.  I am scared . He said that was enough info to take in. I felt spaced out and detatched and hazywhen he told me. All bring done within 7 days of initital Appt. Symtoms have been over looked over 2 yrs with a lot of use of Antibiotics .

I feel sad that it has been overlooked so long - weightloss 14kg in last 5 mths- Gp said stress from 35 yr abusive marriage and house move. Deep voice and nodules in riggt lung 3 yrs ago. To be CT every 12 mths  bt all i got was xray. Nodules dont even show up on xray. Now CT shows nodules quadrupled in suze. I feel so sad that so many symptoms are overlooked and belittled and cheap xray used and not what was requested by initial Consultant. But is any of this treatable to point of cure? I only remember saying I dont want to leave my children - they are 26 butni have nt wantedto live for so long and just as i started feeling I wantedto try life I have this. Will i be ok? Bless u all. Sorry to waffle. Im just scared. No oneadded " bt it can be treated" etc. I know all results have to be in 1st but he was so so solomn. Got a 2nd Consultant in and asked my friend in. Biodpisies will be done during scans and Surgury. God bless. 

Where i can go to talk? My stomach is in a tight knot and I cant sleep.i am strong and am doing life.

  • Hi Tseb

    Sorry you’ve  found yourself on here hearing the Ward cancer is scary. Once biopsy results are in please ask if your cancer is like mine was HPV driven ? Head and neck cancers do respond well to treatment although treatment is hard I am now 6 years post radiotherapy and chemo for ronsik cancer with seven affected lymoh nodes . Read my blog it hopefully will help you. 
    The waiting for scans and results is horrible but sadly we have all been there but keep this dighufe is yiur head head and neck cancers have excellent responses to treatment. Keep off dr Google and keep yourself busy. Often our cancers take a while to get diagnosis’s as they aren’t that common. I was lucky my gp was aware of HPV driven cancers.

    take treatment ine day at a time don’t look too far in advance
