Thanks Christine, but I'm yet to find on any forum, someone else who has been diagnosed as having MEC of the tonsil. MEC yes, but not of the tonsil. SCC of the tonsil yes, but not MEC.

I've found literature referring to MEC being a possible cause of tonsil cancer, but little else. My diagnosis appears to be RARE and possibly VERY RARE.

I hope you are correct about someone posting some information.
