Hi everyone
I was diagnosed with tonsil cancer after discovering an enlarged lymph node - no symptoms totally out of the blue. Anyway HPV+ T2. Had a tonsillectomy - which was very painful.
I have just been discharged today from hospital after a neck dissection - pity it wasn't halloween I would have given Frankenstein a run for his money with the long scar and staples in my neck.
My follow up pathology meeting is on the 18/04/2024. I spoke to the consultant today and he said they had to take out more lymph nodes than anticipated but are hopeful they have removed all the malignant cells (fingers crossed). RT is inevitable. I mentioned PATHOS, he said he could not remember having that conversation with me????
I will need to discuss this further with him at my appointment.
I am totally terrified of what comes next.
These community posts are very helpful.
Thanks for being here
Dawn
