Blimey, I've read most things there is to read - my way of coping I think!

Just be careful online stuff often isnt  regulated and stars are often out of date. All you need you can find in here. It’s ok if you know what and where to look. Trust your husband’s team they do it daily and we’ve been there or are going through it. 
hugs Hazrl

Sorry. Trying to juggle too many balls. Wrong thread. I’ll go delete it. 

Hi Peter, I’m so besides myself with worry. I noticed an enlarged tonsil in 2020 during Covid. Got it checked and told it was fine. 
it’s now 2024, 2cm lump on my neck on the same side (cervical upper area). Uss came back as abnormal with no fatty hilum or whatever a node is meant to have. I Inspected my tonsil again, it’s still large and looks quite cysty. Like a bunch of tiny cysts. I know it’s that. I’m at the point of angry. Not yet been diagnosed but it’s been there that long, I’m so worried about whether I will be able to be treated. I’m 40 and a solo parent. It’s a very tough time in my life. I was 40 at the weekend. The anxiety of it all ruined my big day :( 

Hi LizzG  I see you are new to our community. It would be a good idea to start a new thread for yourself and we can all try to help. 
I presume you are now under the care of an ENT team? 
Have you an appointment to discuss the results of the US? 
If it is cancer it’s likely to be caused by HPV and us curable. 

Thank you. I will do. 
I'm under ENT after a referral from my USS results.  My first consultation appointment is next week. 

Hi Lizzie 

Finished chemoradio June 2023 and luckily the cancer treatment worked....it is a tough treatment but doable....68 years old when diagnosed....lots of ups and downs.... but there's light at the end of the tunnel.... posting this from The Canary Islands.... enjoying my food and my taste is returning....

Best of luck and take care 

Peter 

Thank you. I’m glad life is good for you. Hopefully I’m okay but if I end up being diagnosed, I hope to be saying something similar to someone else a year or 2 down the line x
