Hey Michelle, I understand your feeling frustrated when you know something isn't right and your doctor can't figure out just what it is. I have been having problems since this past July with an ulcer in my throat that one general practioner and my dentist saw, but two different oral surgeons couldn't see. They both did thorough exams too, and told me all they can see is "normal lymph tissue". In the meantime I have gotten two white spots on my tonsil too. Unlike you, I have never experienced pain, but I find myself looking into a mirror a dozen times a day and freaking out over it all. I will not give up until I get an answer that I am satisfied with. I was told the oral surgeons would do biopsies before I saw them, but after seeing me, they felt no need to do one, so I pressed on and now have an appt with an ENT doctor next tuesday. (the spots on my tonsil were not there when I saw the oral surgeons), so in my mind I imagine the worst, that maybe the ulcerated area I see IS cancer, and that it's now spread to my tonsil? I'm hoping and praying that this is all just my imagination going wild from NOT knowing? Actually, Ive had to reschedule the ENT appt two times, because my husband had to have surgery for a brain tumor this month. The waiting is horrible. I am 48 years old and was a heavy smoker and drinker for many years. I have a daughter who gets white spots on her tonsils too and her dentist told her they are food collecting in them and he was able to scrape them off, like you said you have done, but she has not had pain with them. When I saw one of the oral surgeons for my problem, he asked if I had my tonsils removed....which I haven't, but one of them somehow disentegrated (?) so I now only have one, which is the one with the white spots on it. My nephew somehow doesn't have either of his now, and he never had a tonsilectomy either. I hope you go for a second opinion and get an answer to your symptoms, I know how hard the NOT knowing is. Shelley
