A member asked:

Tonsil lumps on tonsil for two years been to 3 doctors have an appointment in a month for biopsy but lumps have spread to tongue could it be to late?

Doubt cancer: All tonsils are lumpy, there's tonsil-type tissue on your tongue that's lumpy too, and these lumps change over time as the tonsils do their job. It sounds as if you have cancer-phobia and this is understandable. Real cancer in a young person's tonsil is unmistakable and is usually curable even when it looks horrendous. But by all means get your biopsy & check out other folks' tonsils (penlight).

Sorry: Impossible to render a diagnosis without an examination. I would try to see if i could get the appointment sooner. Hope this helps.
