Tonsil tumour

Hi my husband has had a swollen lymph node area under his ear which after waiting for appointments and ultra sound has got bigger and is very solid but not painful, 

he also had a bit of a sore throat and in his words scratchy! and his snoring has been off the scale! the radiographer said he thought it looked like a cyst until 48 hours after the

ultra sound the doctors were on the phone saying he ws going to be seen asap by the ENT consultant, it turns out he has a tumour on his tonsil and yes its throat cancer.

tomorrow its MRI with contrast and Wednesday biopsy of lymph nodes tonsils out next week, so i suppose what im asking is who else ha sad this and as his wife what does the road ahead 

look like? he's being really brave Im terrified

  • Hello. No experience myself but, there is a documentary on BBC iPlayer at the moment by the comedian Rhod Gilbert who himself got diagnosed with head and neck cancer in 2022. It follows his journey from diagnosis to know. Might be worth a watch for you. Not necessarily your husband but should give you an idea of treatment and what to expect.
