Enlarged Tonsil

A week ago I was referred to a consultant maxillo/facial surgeon by my gp, as I have a small polyp type cyst on the edge of my tongue. The specialist looked at my tongue and remarked that it looked perfectly benign and that it could be removed easily. He then examined the rest of my mouth and neck and remarked, to my surprise, that my right tonsil was unusually large compared to the left. I have never had any tonsil trouble and have not been aware of anything untoward. Two days later, I am in an MRI scanner having numerous neck scans including one with a dye injection. I am now waiting with some anxiety, the results of the scans as this condition doesn't google particularly well(I know-but we all do it!). Has anyone any similar experience of this?
