Hi all,

Had surgery yesterday ,and consultant decided not to take tonsil out as he found a lump at base of tongue ,which he thinks is primary ,so he took lots of biopsy and now being tested.

So another waiting game ,but Rachel (key worker) says it won't be too long as they are quick at turn around at the moment.

Fingers crossed. Mine was in the same place. The RT annihilated the cancer and my tonsils.

Hi Mark, all the waiting is a pain isn't it, hopefully you won't have to wait too long.

Hi my primary was in my tonsil but only had biopsy the chemo radiotherapy blasted the tonsil and my uvula . They won’t always need to take the tonsils out.

we have a set of tonsils at the base of the tongue so that’s why here yours will be more than likely.
