So I posted in the first week of September that my husband had got the all clear but there was only a 2 week respite.
He found a small lump on the same side as the original lump and tonsil so I called the nurse and got in to see the consultant who couldn’t feel anything of concern.
By that time the lump seemed to have gone but he had an ultrasound and biopsy anyway as the radiologist said that one lymph was slightly enlarged but he wasn’t concerned.
However, they found cancer cells in the biopsy and we got a call from the nurse last Tuesday to tell us and we were plunged back. She told us that he would now need a neck dissection.
We had an appointment with the consultant last Thursday and they had contacted the oncologist before we arrived and tried to explain that the oncologist felt that it is possible it is due to it being quite close to treatment finishing (31st May) and that the cells could be inactive/residual cells, can’t remember exactly what they said but they tried to explain it a bit like a false positive. It reminded me of Rhod Gilbert’s first scan. Is it the same? Is it possible that the biopsy is such as it is too early? Has anyone experienced this? Offer any positive stories or knowledge? 
Yesterday he got the call to say that the histology found no cancer!
Oh that's wonderful.
Having had a similar experience I know just how he feels.......At least now you are sure. I hope your husband has a good recovery from the dissection. Most people do.
