Hi there - I think Kelly is a member... She's posted a number of times - now she's talking about her uncle. I think the uptake could be due to inflammation of some sort, if he tested negative for cancer in the biopsy then that's a good thing - it is possible they missed the primary but that would likely have been the BOT location - which you said they did biopsy, and the tonsil did come back clear as well. There's a good chance that maybe he just had a throat infection. Will keep my fingers crossed that's all it is.
