You have came to the right place...lots of us have been through this treatment...it can be s tough road but all of this is doable...as people have said ... stay away from Google and people telling you about s friend's miracle cure...they mean well but really your consultant and the team know what they are doing...much of the treatment will be beyond your control so I looked for things that I could control... like my fitness...so walking became my focus...also if at all possible be positive...it really makes a difference...it helped my wife and kids get through it with me.

Once you have a treatment plan then you will be on the way to better health.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress

Hi everyone, today is second day after my operation. Both tonsils removed, base of tongue removed, biopsy of nasal cavity, and I think oesphagus . Pet scan only showed a faint glow in left tonsil, so they suspect it’s hiding in there. Throat is sore, but I’m managing to eat, only soup snd soft puddings. I’m now hoping they find it in my tonsil, you guys on here everything you told me has been correct, your support has been amazing, and going forward I hope I can support others too x 

Great you're home. Fingers crossed everything is sorted. Now you have the Olympics to watch while you recuperate. Brilliant timing from your surgeon

That sounds good.  Keep up with the pain meds even if your body is telling you the pain is lessening - tonsil pain does get worse before it gets better.  10 days and you should be feeling great.  Also keep off things like tomato soup and anything that is slightly acidic...

Hi Debbie. Aa Peter  says the pain ftom tonsil could  well get worse so keep on top of painkillers. Please keep in touch and we will try to help you through next stages.

Thank you, you’ve all been a great help through this stage, will keep in touch as I know you will all have the answers to my next stage. Thank you so much 

Hi Peter I will take the pain meds even if I go t feel the need, like you say they need to stay in my system, for when the pain gets worse. Thank you
