I saw the specialist who has booked a surgery to remove the " grown" where my tonsil used to be. He is removing it then foinh biopsia. Would that be because he knows it is cancer

Hello Ivijuliane,
Unfortunately no one will be able to say whether this growth in your tonsil is cancer or not and the specialist himself would not be able to say until he has had all the biopsy results. As you can see in our general information page on the biopsy, you should usually get the results within 2 weeks. Waiting for test results can be worrying and we have helpful tips to help you cope during this anxious time.
I hope that you will hear from others here who have been through this diagnosis process and had a growth removed on a tonsil site. It helps to talk to others who are going through something similar.
Keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be nothing of concern.
Best wishes,
