Shane, glad to hear you had a great holiday. Seems like you have good insight into those symptoms too. Life ain't easy, but it's wonderful that you are cancer free.

Back at the ENT today because of my ongoing fear. According to the doc he states that both my tonsils are red and swollen but that the right is larger. He stuck something in my nose that he says works like a scope and stated that I had lots of mucus in there which I can't feel. He has me going to see a gastro doc and an allergist now. He said he did not see anything unusual in my mouth although he did state that my nodes were a little swollen on both sides. I explained my cancer fear and he said he saw nothing pointing to this. My next step will be a catscan and pray for the best. It's hard to believe anxiety will cause this. Isn't having a tonsil larger than the other a certified sign. I'm living in constant fear day to day. What makes things worse is that while at the store today a man behind me is discussing how he was just diagnosed with OC and will be in surgery Tuesday. This was all I needed. He spoke about major pain in his face and how a catscan founf it. I'm going insane
