Hi, I’m still on the 2 week pathway. I’ve had an mri with contrast done and I’ve got my appointment with the consultant next week. So I’ll know more then. However, he seems confident that it isn’t sinister as the edges are like roused and not irregular if that makes sense. Hope you’re ok. I know the worry is horrible.

Thanks so much for replying. My lump seems to be directly under my tonsil. Almost like it’s my tonsil, but a hard lump? It makes no sense to me. Seeing an ENT on Monday. It can’t come quick enough. 
please keep in touch. I wish you so much luck. c

Sounds very similar to mine honestly! hopefully it is nothing and perhaps something calcified in there. Will post back when I know and hopefully it’s some peace of mind for you too. 

the consultant in ent did confidently tell me that cancer would not present in that way. So after speaking to him before the mri etc. the wait hasn’t caused me much stress or anxiety. 

Hi, I promised I’d write back. I’ve got my results. It’s a styloid mass - I hope this eases some anxiety you may have. I have to go back again in 3 months. Wishing you luck. 

Hello, sorry I know it's been 2 years but what treatment did you get for it? I have the same hard lump where my tonsil used to be. It's fixed and hard which isn't a good sign, waiting for a GP app to hopefully get referred to check it out. So searching forums for reassurance

Hi, no problem! 

it was nothing other than an elongation of the bone and can happen at times! Nothing to do.
