I am very lucky indeed-the biopsy has come back negative. My consultant was delighted, as he told me that after my surgery he feared the outcome was going to be very different. He thinks that I have suffered from chronic tonsillitis which resulted in this hugely enlarged tonsil. It is going to take a few weeks yet to fully recover from the aftermath of the surgery-especially with the tonsil having been so large, but I'm very relieved about the whole episode.
