SABW,

The smallest bit of a "maybe" is just too dangerous to brush away. Even if it's probably not cancer, it's so very much better to make certain it's not than to find out later that it is.

I don't know if you need the tonsillectomy, or if a biopsy would do it - but then you have those swollen nodes, too. And with the HPV thrown into the mix, I would definitely suggest that waiting & seeing are the only way NOT way to go.
