My symptoms were 6 months before the tonsillectomy and biopsy and are now back in full force after healing from surgery. Same location-same pain! I wish someone with BOT cancer would explain to me if these tumors are always seen. It's my assumption that they are not. Do they always grow outwards or do some grow inwards where it would be harder to see. Just need help. This is real and not something I just googled. This cancer is so easily missed and I just need to know what my next step would be. Would a MRI show this cancer better than CT scan? Thanks
