Hi,

I have not had surgery. My surgeon wanted to rush me in to biopsy the tonsil before my fine needle biopsy results were in. I refused. I now have a new doctor. He is a fantastic ENT. Biopsy on lymph node cane back squamous cell. Don’t know where coming from. I’m scheduled on July 13 for neck dissection. However before he starts that he’s going to biopsy tonsil with frozen section. If it turns out to be cancer..which he’s not convinced it is.,thinks may be a cyst..he will not proceed with neck dissection. The same as your doctor he said if cancer in tonsil May have to do a different procedure. I know radiation is horrible..I do not want to go through that. Anyway at this point don’t know what’s happening. He’s doing a few different scope type tests while under to be sure nothing hiding. I’m terrified thinking about it. Don’t think I can handle much more as I’m just too old to survive all of this though I’m otherwise healthy and young for my age. I’m praying for better news but expecting the worst.
