Hi, I might be worrying about nothing but has anyone here heard of Tonsillar Fossae cancer? or maybe it's called by a differant name. I had a very bad head cold over Christmas and what I have now developed could I guess be from that but I'm worried all the same luckily I have my monthly check up tomorrow with the ENT doctor and he'll be able to see for himself and hopefully give me good news but in the meantime I was hoping someone might be able to put my mind at rest. about a week ago I developed what looks like a small white abcess, I am going to try an insert a picture that I found on the net that looks exactly like it, if it doesn't work I will put a link to a page where you can go to see it. what I am worried about is that it has nothing to do with the after effects of the cold but that it could be a new cancer as they said my first hadn't spread.. in the picture it says they are cysts but isn't that another name for cancer? I have only one and it's on the left hand side.. thanks.. tried to insert pic but it didn't work so here is a link, hope it works http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y36/Linda2810/Cysts.jpg
