Hi, I am new. I have been having very suspicious symptoms for 2-3 months. ENT oral exam/endoscopy was negative. CT 5 wks ago showed what appeared to be a "small foreign body, probably calcification" in the left tonsillar area (left side is where the symptoms are). I go for a tonsillectomy and biopsy this Monday. ENT wanted to remove just the left tonsil. I wonder if I should remove both so that if it is OC, perhaps I won't have to get the other side removed later on? I am already having lots of pain chewing and swallowing solid food. I hear tonsillectomy is the worst pain. I am very scared. Would appreciate advice. Thank you.
