hi there

i just recently had an ulcer that persisted under my tongue biopsied. I am so nervous for getting results next week. Maxillofacial surgeon says does not look suspicious.

recently ive started worrying about tonsil cancer. Showed my doctor my tonsils two and a half years ago and she said they are fine. i showed them because one is massive and lumpy and one is practically not visible. She said its completely normal, assymetrical.

As my lymph nodes are sore by collarbone and sore around neck ear area, im so freaked out. I hope to god she didnt misunderstand this. This was at least two years ago.

The tonsils are often asymmetrical. See what the biopsy shows, and proceed from there. Hope you get answers. Good luck.
