I am 27 years old. There is a growth in my throat on my soft palate that's been there for a year. I had a CT scan done last month and results were that my lymph nodes are swollen, but hard to see anything because I have fillings and made the scan unclear. I have surgery scheduled in June to remove the growth as the Dr. said it looks abnormal and they will send to pathology afterwards. They said it could be tonsil re-growth (had them removed as a child) or a pampilloma or a fluid filled sac, they are not sure so want to be cautious. The growth feels like a very mild sore throat, and the soreness spreads to my ear canal. I am trying not be to worried, but I can't help it. I am glad they are removing it but uneasy and not sure how concerned the Dr.'s are that it is cancer. I would appreciate any advice or stories.
