I had my tonsils removed for biopsy yesterday. I’m in a lot of pain today but trying to eat and drink as much as I can.

Due to apparent urgency for the tonsillectomy I had prepared myself for the worst but the discharge sheet states friable and bleeding tonsil. Surely cancer would be a hard lump not fragile? I know no one can give me a guarantee but does this sound positive?

Thank you.

It’s not an opinion anybody here can give. This is a question for your medical team.

Hi sorry like Beesuit says we can’t give an opinion.Am sure your team will get back to you with results as quickly as they can. We can all sympathise with you in regard to the waiting it’s never pleasant.
Hope all goes well for you.
