One tonsil bigger than the other and fever

I have been experiencing fever that comes and goes for over a month now. I have also noticed that I have one tonsil bigger than the other. The GP seemed quite concerned about this, I have a blood test tomorrow and the GP told me to book in for a chest X-ray. My GP mentioned about lymphoma and I was wondering if lymphoma would show up in a blood test. I would be really grateful if anyone could offer me information and advice.

 

Thanks!

 

 

  • I'm sorry about the symptoms you've been having Honeybee but hopefully your doctor can figure out what's going on and that it isn't anything sinister.

    Your GP should be able to answer this question but our team of cancer nurses may be able to help as well so if you'd like to get their thoughts on this they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
