Had a small scare.
Who am I kidding, it was more than small.

Went for Hubbys 2 month regular clinic appt 9/25 and they found a 1/2" lesion on the original tonsil site.
Drs wanted it removed ASAP so we did the pre-op that day for Friday.
He went in for the surgery and the DR called and said the pathology showed all clear.
There was no tumor just irritated from the radiation.
They took a little over 1/2 the tonsil by laser. That sure has slowed him down.

Just kept remembering "It ain't cancer till the biopsy says it is".
Thank you for this forum, kept me sane.
