I had a doctor appt this morning after discovering a flesh colored lump/lesion on my right tonsil. I have had swollen glands particularly on the right side for months. The doctor was alarmed at the size of my glands and said they were abnormally large....that my lymph nodes weren't swollen but actually infected. She has ordered a chest x-ray, a barium swallow upper GI series and an appointment with an ENT. My appt with the ENT is not until the end of the month and the doctor mentioned the possibility of oral cancer so I am extremely worried. I am a 32 year old female, on and off smoker for many years with 3 young children. The lesion is flesh colored and was not visible upon inspection until I shone a flash light down my throat. It is the same color as surrounding tissue. I know no-one can diagnose me on this forum but any advice would be appreciated. Does this sound like oral cancer to anyone with experience. Thank you so much for your time.
