Hi again, yes the waiting is grim, 3 weeks seems along time to me , I had my tonsil removed a CT scan and multiple biopsies taken and had the results in 13 days I think mine was a for gone conclusion. Had severe trismus and ear pain and 4cm tumour sitting on the left tonsil but as they say around here it's not cancer until the biopsy says it is. Also had a polyp removed and biopsied a couple of months ago which thankfully was okay and that took 8 days , I'm thinking once your in the system things move quicker maybe but I would push and ask if had been marked urgent as that too can make a difference. My daughter in law is a beautician and nail technician so I find what the Dr said to you disturbing. Mike my other half and I are going to a head and neck support group tonight we find it really helpful they don't have one at The Christie unbelievably but a hospital quite local to us does so we're off there tonight it's the Christmas party met some really great people . Try hard not to let this dominate your every waking hour ...... I know not easy.
Love and hugs Di
