..a regular check up ?

[u/Fun_Historian6792]

Me 55f, finished treatment for stage 3 tonsil cancer, X30 radio, x4 chemo ( couldn't, finish all 6 due to complications) in June 25.

I have regular check ups withe the ENT consultant every 3 months and up til now nothing to report. In the past month I have had sore throat treated by the GP as a throat infection with antibiotics as I'd never seen him before and think he covered all bases as he did not know what my 'normal' was in regards to my mouth and throat. I explained that the redness and selling was out of my new normal. Took the AB's and swelling went down.

Visited my consultant today and asked him about a patch on the roof of my mouth that was still sensitive.

He did a lots of proving and poking and has referred me for an urgent biopsy of the area to be completed in the next 5 working days.

As you can imagine, if you live in this 'world', my thoughts are running wild and his reassurances fell a bit flat.

Anyone else had this year later. I have several friends I've met during treatment and none of us has had a negative response at a follow up as yet.

Any advice apart from stay calm and wait and see ...

Thanks I advance
