?biopsy results tonsils

Hi, I had a fast track app for my tonsils as one was larger than the other this resulted in scope up my nose and down my throat. Consultant said there is a tissue mass in my nasal space and tonsils need to come out now for biopsy. Ten days later I had the op tonsils removed and biopsy of tissue mass. My follow up app is 8 weeks from the op but I still have no results I'm so worried! Consultants secretary on holiday. Do I assume no news is good news? Or could they make me wait 8 weeks u til follow up app. Thanks xx

  • Hi Shazza

    Sorry to hear youre still waiting for your results and appointment. All I can say is my husband had squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsils diagnosed in December 2015 and he had it confirmed within 3 days following surgery.Hopefully for you it will be good news.

    best wishes

  • Hi. I had a tonsilectomy for an enlarged tonsil.  The gp has referred me to ENT urgently and I was on the cancer pathway. Had a tonsilectomy following a MRI scan, (was normal just showed a cyst on left tonsil) and now just over 2 weeks post surgery. Not heard anything from the hospital about the results. I myslef am worried sick. 

    Im hoping no news is good news.
