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.
