Hi I posted a few months ago about some red and white areas in my throat and on my soft palate. I have also had a continuous scratchy throat and allergy symptoms since November of last year. I am a former alcohol user and of course am worried about that being a cause.

Anyway I have been to several ents who have basically told me I don’t have cancer. Not convinced I visited another specialist who has experience in oral cancer. He suggested taking out my tonsils and that happened to include the red spots on my palate but I don’t believe it was even mentioned for recognition. His nurse called a few days later and said everything is ok. I obtained the report and to me it only included that I had tonsil stones no mention of the scratchy throat or redness. It looked to only have a gross description and a general follicular hyperplasia diagnosis.

What has me concerned is that I am now on day 24 post tonsillectomy and in my tonsil beds there are areas of lumps that are growing rather than going away. It looks worse everyday and is slightly painful. I don’t have a fever or any other symptoms of infection. I obviously have researched this and am finding nothing. Which makes me wonder if anyone else who did get an oral cancer diagnosis have issues like this after a biopsy?

The Dr. didn’t want to see me for 6-8 weeks but I called today and they are going to see me on Friday.

Obviously I’m not looking for a diagnosis here just wondering if this could be a red flag.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration,
Tammy
