New here just told I have Tonsil cancer

I'm pleased all went well, for you.

Ray.

Hi Glad all went well for you. I had numb ear for about 4 weeks and then it just disappeared.  Scar looks bad but it's amazing  how quick  it heals. I'm  4 months post op now and not many people notice my scar. I did find sleeping  abit tricky for a while but you will get there. Sending best wishes.

Hi   Im into day 4 now post Laser surgery where the tonsil was, and neck disection. I thought it was going OK and manageable but the pain level cranked up today. Im taking 2 x 500mg paracetamol and 1 x 30 mg codine and then 400 ibuprofen. Swapping between the two doses every four hours. Is there anything you can recommend to get the pain levels drop a little bit as im struggling today. This makes my tonsillectomy a few weeks ago easy 

Oxylan was prescribed for my pain and it definitely worked. 

Hi, if you can swallow it ask for morphine, it eliminates all your pain but can be difficult to swallow due to the sensitivity of your throat, I advise only to use it for bed as it is very strong. The next couple of weeks are the hardest but a breakthrough is remembering to chew food as it helps getting it down. You're getting better every day now just keep that thought in mind. Good luck! 

I was on slow release morphine (MST) and Oramorph as required, contact your CNS for support on pain control

1. Thanks all, I spoke to my cancer nurse at the hospital she asked a number of questions looked at my records and said if I go to the pharmacy in a hour I can get a weeks supply of morphine. After theirst one it was like bliss. The sharp pains decreased to a very acceptable level. She said to me if the pain ever gets to much always contact them for help. Its a lesson learnt

Get some laxido or movicol too. Even a week of opiates can cause constipation

Yes I was advised that also ️

Hope you feel better soon...hugs
