Same story as a lot of others it seems like that I'm reading. The right side of my tonsils are still swollen and slightly discolored. First trip to ent they did do endoscopy and wanted me to try some different GERD meds to see if there was any improvement. I haven't seen any improvement whatsoever. Been thru two round of antibiotics with no change either. I lost approx 20lbs in one month and I had some scratches on my leg that were not healing at it's normal rate. Also I have a feeling of something stuck in my throat and can never get it out. It seems to always be worse @ pm. When I try to eat bread or meat or something along those lines it gets stuck in my throat. I either have to follow it with tons of milk or sometimes it will gag me and I have to run to the bathroom and vomit it up so I can breath. I've read so many stories where a biopsy was done and the cancer was missed. Also the same with a CT scan. I'm so tired of feeling crappy and tired and not being able just to eat simple pizza. I think everyone loves pizza right? lol I also have the hoarse voice or deeper voice. Sometimes it is worse than others. I carry something with me to drink at all times because of my dry mouth and tonsils. The right tonsil is definitely getting more inflammed and aggravating. I also have periodic ear pain usually on right side. Here lately I've noticed when I cough and try to get mucous up I have this feeling of drowning. Like it's not coming out but clogging up nasopharynx area or something. This has been going for several months now. I feel like when I went for my first visit to the ENT they were just worried about getting me in and out instead of listening and looking closer. Can I demand that they take my tonsils out? That is where I'm seeing and reading many people find the cancer. I don't want them to do a biopsy and miss something. So many stories of biopsy missing it. Also should I try to get into a Surgeon and skip the follow up with ENT? My appt for ENT is this Friday but it has took me forever to get a f/u appt.

Thank you for listening and I'm so thankful to have found this forum. So many others with same issues and very understanding and helpful. <3
