Tonsil Cancer

Hi everyone Fooman here,  I have got over my COVID 19 infection and have just recently had my MRI Scan and a PET Scan. I have got my FNA biopsy tomoz. I had a letter from the doctor from the hospital last week who said I have Tonsillar Carcinoma with metastatic nodes in the left neck. So I presently waiting for the diagnosis. I have promised myself not to go to google Doctor anymore as I have not liked what I have read, This has been a awful time but I have kept on working I feel well and I am eating very well. My family have been brilliant. I have taken 1 day at a time and I am being patient. The Hospital is exllent. You all take care Fooman

  • Hey Fooman, how did you get on with your FNA biopsy? I hope everything went o.k but if you have any questions or have had anything playing on your mind since yesterday then do feel free to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Despite the uncertainty and stress this situation is bringing it's great to see you have such a positive approach to what's going on, and staying away from Dr Google is definintely the right call as he really isn't the best person to consult when waiting for news.

    I'm sure some of our members will be along soon but in the meantime we're thinking of you and sending our support your way.

    Kind regards,

  • Hello Steph it's Fooman my FNA biopsy went well, I had to rush home from work as my appointment was for 3.40pm. I got home and phoned for the Taxi, the taxi went to the wrong address so I was more stressed about that then the biopsy Anyway I had my biopsy fine needle I think ?  the doctor was a nice chap, he took 4 samples in stead of the 3. To be honest it was the last one that hurt the most like being pinched. I don't have white coat syndrome, not frieghtened by hospitals or anything medical. With me it's can they do something for me? Get rid of the decease I am aware that the treatment can be painful but i am more then willing to put up with that. I had a good day at work in the sun shine beautiful and I have had  a nice evening meal. My wife made a very good bread and butter pudding delicious and I had some cream with it as well. Thanks for your message of support, I may phone up and speak to someone you take care Fooman keep it Green
