I have an appointment on Friday as my biopsy results are back. Its a different hospital and different consultant. Its in the Maxillofacial unit. I'm scared stiff but will update you all afterwards x
Hell! There are reasons for not doing a tonsillectomy but you’d think they would take enough tissue. On the other hand something might have happened to the sample between theatre and lab. Won’t make it any better I know so big hugs.
All you can do is grin and bear it. More hugs.
Hope you get a date soon and some answers on Friday.
As for eating now you can try complan available from most supermarkets it will give you extra calories if you’re still able to swallow you can ask your g p if they will,prescribe the ensure or fortisip drinks to give you calories.
I actually got Complans on prescription, found them much easier to drink than ensure/fortisips.

Sorry you have to have it done again Jen89, i had the same happen to me after having the biopsy i was halfway home and my mobile rung to say they needed more tissue to test, that was a stressful day, this is where i first had strong painkillers as the pain was not good yet when i had operations i never suffered any severe pain, weird how it all works out but you will get there in the end, good luck with the results.
