I had a tonsillectomy in May. My right tonsil had a cancerous tumor. I’ve never experienced that level of pain before. I am scheduled for robotics surgery this month to remove the residual primary and the lymph node on my neck. I will find out about follow up after the surgery. It was stage 2 and HPV positive which was a relief for the surgeon because they know how HPV acts in the body.
I dread a second round of the pain more than I can say but the surgeon is using a different approach for pain management than my first surgeon. I was lucky to have caught this early. I’m 71, very healthy and active.
Good luck to you.
