Hello, 

just looking for some reassurance really as been to Gp today. I have a very swollen right tonsil. 
The Gp looked in my mouth and said the tonsil was massive and I need to get it looked at. Now I'm petrified it's cancer. She said hopefully it's a red herring but it needs looking at. I'm am waiting on an ENT referral, which hopefully will get in the next couple of weeks. 
I have had a sore throat for last 2 months on the opposite side but not on the big tonsil side, but I think the tonsil has been bigger than the other one for a little while. It's only because of the sore throat I took more notice of it. Feel like I'm getting a cold but nothing really comes of it. 
anyone out there with similar symptoms? The Gp did mention the C word but was more hopeful it could be acid relux related. 
Just slightly stressed now.
