Hi Fizzy

Am sorry to hear of your circumstances and I hope all goes with your Scan and surgery

We obviously cannot diagnose anything on here as not qualified and all different but often it could be the case of tonsils needing out and thats it.

Unless I have picked you up wrong, your consultant has not mentioned cancer when endoscopy done and that in itself is ecouraging. I was diagnosed with stage 1 throat cancer and was picked up immediately when endoscopy done.

That said MRI will be a more throurough check and examination of the area.

Hard as it may seem, try and stay as positive as you can and wait until MRI results and consultation with consultant. It;s honestly not always sinsister and tonsilitis and removal is no picnic as I had that done prior to treatment.

Happy to answer any questions you have or your welcome to friend me if you would like a 1-1 chat , but please keep us posted over your progress and I'm rooting for you.

kind regards

Ian

Hi Anchor

Thank you very much for your response.

When I had the endoscope the consultant said he didn't know what it was that he was looking at, but that he didn't like the look of it. He did say however, that if it was cancerous it would most likely be early stages by and that in itself was encouraging. 
 

I am sorry to hear of your diagnosis, can I ask how you are? I hope you are keeping well. 
 

I have read these forums a lot of the years but this is my first time joining anything like this, and I am truly grateful for your reply. I think it's amazing how a community like this can help people through their hardest times.

I will, of course, let you know once I have any more information.

take care

Hi Fizzy

I am absolutely fine thanks and feel great 

i was diagnosed with stage 1 tonsil cancer around 3 and half years ago and have been through treatment and recovery and treatment itself was 100% sucessful

so to be honest and following your condultants comments even with your worst case scenario and early stages of cancer it is pretty much curable with treatment nowadays

i was told by my consultant that is one of the most succesful areas for treatment and statistically very high for complete cure 

i started a thread on here as soon as i started treatment to log my journey and i also kept a blog which i have published and has helped so many people and even from abroad

lets see how you get on and if you have to go through any treatment for cancerous cells i will give you details of thread and a link to my blog

that said, you may well have nothing at all other than tonsilitus and have them removed

either way stay as positive as you can my friend as i was positive from the outset of diagnosis after my consultant told me he was looking for complete cure and he did

one of the toughest treatments and recoveries but you get through it and the light at the end if the tunnel is always there for this but im rooting fir you to have nothing else other than tonsils removed

On the positive side you are in good hands and mri will pick up anything that will help consultant decide most appropriate treatment for your current symptoms

all the very best and keep me posted

kind regards
