Hello Tseb, 

You are not waffling at all and I just wanted you to know that you are not alone and our forum is always there for you so you can talk to others who understand what you are going through and who may have been in a similar position before. I am so sorry that you have been told cancer has been found in your regrown tonsil. I hope that your scans next week will shed some light on what is going on and that you find out more soon about your treatment options. I am so sorry that symptoms were overlooked for so long and you had to use a lot of antibiotics. I can understand why you were disappointed when symptoms were overlooked and an X Ray scan was wrongly used. 

Keep strong Tseb and make sure you ask all those questions as to what your treatment options will be for example when you see the consultant. There is detailed information on our website on tonsil cancer including on treating tonsil cancer. I've come across several members of our forum who have been affected by tonsil cancer and seem to be doing well - one name that springs to my mind is the lovely RadioactiveRaz who also has a tonsil cancer blog which retraces her  story and experience. This is just one example amongst many and I hope that you will hear from others here and that they will share their story with you. 

I will also give you our cancer nurses' number if you would like to get in touch with them and ask them anything - their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and you can reach them on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm (but closed this bank holiday Monday). 

We'll be thinking of you for the 1st when all the results come through - if you don't mind, please come back here and keep us updated on what you found out. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

Dear Lucie

What a beautiful lady you are.

I am so gtateful and feel already that people are here for me - my Space.... people who even understand all the emotions. 

My Ultra Sound Doctor says he is some Lymph nodes are affected but had to give me a "wishy washy" reply . He wasnt " happy" with 4 of them. He was a Doctor and had seen my MRI and CT scans 

He didnt do Fine Needle as he said he would discuss with Mr xxxx to have it all biopsied with Tonsil, on Wednesday, in Surgery. My 23rd Op in life but 1st I sm scared of. Probably due to requiring results and not just " fixing".

I see I have other replies and am so grateful to all and will reply to all soon.

I had a short night, full of nightmares and as usual am walking tred.

I thankyou for the Blog Access and for Nurses numbers.

Thankyou all so much.

Helen
