Update on me

Here's the super condensed version...

My radiation oncologist very strongly believes the uptake on the PETscan was from an inflamed tonsil. She scoped my nose, mouth and throat and didn't see anything to be concerned about. Whew!

I have to have an MRI next week to be certain that it's nothing and then see my ENT to see if I need to have my tonsils removed.

Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers!

  • I've heard from several people (my doctor included) that having your tonsils out as an adult is pretty bad... but honestly I'd have them removed awake with a rusty pocket knife over having cancer. For real, bring it on! LOL.

    I am so happy for you that it was all clear, I had my tonsils out this summer and i was sore but it really wasn't to bad 

  • Well, sounds like good news to me!

    And if you do have to get your tonsils out, you get to eat lots of ice cream! ;)

  • jenthjenth member

    Great news!!!  I'm so glad.

  • awesome.  

    I had my tonsils out at age 10 and it wasn't that bad - I think I would compare it to having strep throat.  at least as an adult, they can give you some lovely pain meds :)
