Hiya, I had a tonsillectomy aged 32ish after having at least 60 episodes of tonsillitis/ throat infections over the years.

Surgery in my case went really well. I was a little sore afterwards but I was eating toast straight away. Swallowing was a little painful for a week. But just try and eat and drink regularly. 

You will have a pre assessment before hand. Write down any questions you may have and ask them at the pre assessment. You should see a consultant / surgeon before your operation you could also ask them too.
I presume they will take your tonsils to be screened and graded before they can tell you anything regarding treatment plan. They also might do biopsy on others areas like your tongue if they suspect anything.

Results take 2weeks ish. They often discuss your results in a MDT meeting and decide what's the best treatment plan.  
Lots of different treatment plans . Wouldn't look to much into things till you know what grade cancer type it is. 

Best of luck with everything.

After surgery don't forget to Keep drinking fluids and eating little and often   
 

much love

Thankyou and yes they said going to do biopsy on tonsils when out

it's just scarey when reading stories of people going througb the same or worse 

they did say they would know what treatment after operation

i Need to stop reading but it's so hard when your mind is in overtime but thank again x

Hi again. Ive been googling all sorts. 

Try to stay positive- hard to do. 
 
im having chemotherapy for breast cancer -the oncologist said have you had a read about chemotherapy side effects?? I was like Yeah but it's all bad news so I stopped reading after page one. Sometimes too much information is bad. 
I was pooping my pants over chemo. I've had one lot and it's not been anywhere near as bad as I thought. Only early days i know.

take each day as it comes. Set little goals . Even having shower and getting ready is good. 
keep us posted with your journey

After all the test which basically took just over a week time they fitted everything in I was told on the 22nd I had cancer then I was booked in for surgery on the 26th which unfortunately had to be cancelled due to an emergency so now I'm going in tomorrow instead so really quick which is amazing but scarey
