Hi Helly -- I respect the extra care you're taking to stay healthy with a baby on the way! So much to be excited about, and sooooooooooooooo many new things to worry about.
It's rare for tonsillar OC to cross the mid-line of your head and neck, rarer still for both sides to be cancerous when first detected. One potential cause of bilateral tonsil irritation and tongue irritation is snoring, even just mouth breathing can be irritating in certain conditions. A visit to an ENT will put your mind at ease, I bet.
We are pulling for you!
