Hi Jenn,
I can understand your anxiety level and wanting 'this thing out NOW so I know what it is'. When I had cancer the first time, I had a swollen lymph node in the neck which they did a fine needle biospy on and it came back negative. Three weeks later I had another one and had them do a surgical biopsy and it was postive. There was no known primary so I immediately proceeded with the neck dissection to make certain it had not spread to any other lymph nodes. Fortunately it had not. Could I have avoided the neck dissection. Yes. Radiation would have probably handled the entire problem, but I was just more comfortable knowing that they had removed it and there were no more nodes involved. I was running scared and there was noone to consult with. A tonsillectomy as a adult is no walk in the park as has been stated. I wish you the best tomorrow and hope everything comes back negative.

Take care,
Eileen
