Hi everybody, just got home from work and signed right online to read the newest posts. This group is such an inspiration, when I feel fear gripping me I sign right up to this post and somehow I feel better. As Ive said, the biopsy shouldnt be back til Friday, however, since the growth was removed from my tongue, I can see better into my throat, and on the right side I see a new growth. When I went to the surgeon to have the growth on my tongue removed I should it to him, he said it looks like my tonsil is swollen, only thing is, I had them out when I was 3 years old. Can a person get tonsil cancer if tonsils were removed? I dont see it on the left side, only the right. However, I must also say, I only saw this on Saturday when I was looking in my mouth at the growth on my tongue, so dont really know if its always been there or not. I have had a sore throat for the last couple of days, could it be its swollen on one side due to this? My oral surgeon said he doesnt go any further back then where he did, I have to go back to my ENT, which I have a scheduled apt. for on May 12th. Im just so tired of being afraid all of the time. Last May my doctor also did a sonogram of my thyroid and found a 3mm nodule, went to the Endocrinologist and he said to watch it, went back to him in Jan. Thyroid blood tests came out good, and the nodule did NOT increase in size, said come back in a year. A lil over a week ago, had bloodwork done, T3 UPTAKE was low, and now ofcourse you all know what Im thinking, Thyroid, growth on tongue, growth where tonsils used to be-this doesnt sound good to me. I go to the dentist frequently for work, I cant imagine all the times they look in my mouth they havent see some of these things. I dont know if Im now just being paranoid of it is is All somehow related and Nobody has picked up on it. If somebody has had similiar things happen to them or can give me some encouraging news, I would really appreciate it. Thanks to all. And Mark and Dan didnt know you were both awake til I read the earlier posts. Welcome back to you both...
