Thank for all the replies everyone. I went back to the ENT today for another exam. He looked everything over again and re-scoped me. He said my tonsils are both large but nothing unusual about the left side or the left base of my tongue. The lumps on my left jaw are not large enough in his opinion to consider for needle aspiration. He said if it keeps getting worse he would take out my left tonsil. He suspects its a recuring virus that settled in my left tonsil. He said he was sure that it could not be cancer because either he would have seen it during the exam or the MRI would have found it. I am to check back up with him in three months or sooner if a dramatic change occurs.
