Hi All. Thank you "T" for your response above that I just saw. It's now been two weeks since my bilateral tonsillectomy and bilateral BOT biopsies. The ENT did "punch type" biopsies. Had bleeding twice from the right tonsil area; once back to surgery to remove the clot and cauterize it. The good news for now is that the biopsies of my tonsils and BOT were negative for cancer. I did have pus and inflammation left tonsil, where the rear of tongue pain started. Right now, the right side biopsy site I think is taking more than 2 weeks to heal, though I also must have a lesion or something mid-way right side of tongue after coming out of the 2nd surgery three days ago, as that hurts the most now. Maybe they pushed my tongue down against my teeth while cauterizing the right tonsil area? Also, developed a cold sore right side of lip right after the surgery. I am crossing my fingers. Now that I am aware about HPV oral cancer, any pain lasting more than 2 weeks can make me a bit anxious. I do need to try harder to learn from you all. I need to learn not to jump too way ahead and worry unnecessarily. As Christine and "T" says, first things first, and worrying is not a good thing. I will copy and print many of your wise words and keep them with me as a constant reminder. Again, thank you all for your support, your courage, your positive attitudes, and for your ever so kind generosity.
