The non-tonsillectomy

On January 4th I was off back to London mid-train strike. The hospital kindly allowed me to admit on the Weds for the operation on Thursday.

I was prepped by 7am Thursday and don't think I actually went to theatre before 3pm. General anesthetic administered I awoke in recovery sometime later to be told that they found a suspicious lesion on the tongue adjacent to the bottom of my right tonsil.

So convinced were they that this was the source, my tonsils were not removed, just a chunk of my tongue.

I spent the Thursday night on the ward and was discharged late morning on Friday.

Treatment plan

On 18th Jan I went back to UCLH for a follow up with the surgeons and subsequently the doctor who will be looking after my treatment. The surgeons were happy that they had got the primary source and presented two treatment options, surgery + chemo + radiotherapy or chemo + radiotherapy. There would be an added layer of risk to me to undergo the surgery and everyone is confident either path would result in a full recovery. With that information I decided the non-surgical option would be best. I am now awaiting a date to attend North Middlesex Hospital to start a chemo course, two sets, three weeks apart before I then get the chemo+radiotherapy daily for a further 6 weeks. Ultimately I am going to be off work for 6 months covering the treatment and recovery.

The story so far

Back in July last year after a bout of COVID I noticed a lump in my neck that I thought nothing much of, putting it down to glands related to the infection. The lump wasn't painful, and I didn't really notice it for a while. In October it became noticeably firmer, and I contacted my GP for an opinion. They sent me off to an ENT specialist who in turn sent me for (in no particular order), an ultrasound scan, an x-ray, MRI and CAT scans along with several blood tests. In early December I had a biopsy of the lump and was sent for a PET scan on 7th December. This needed to be done at University College Hospital on the Euston Road in London. On 14th we had a meeting with a specialist who told me the lump in my lymph node was a secondary cancer and the next step was to identify the primary. The majority of the scans and meetings had so far taken place at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow. The most likely primary source given the location and identification of the secondary wa...

3rd Checkup PET scan

Image
Friday 15th March 2024 Into the city again to UCLH for my 3rd post treatment PET scan.  Same as before, injected with the radioactive trace, an hour of rest whilst it circulates then a full body plus a specific head and neck scan.  Takes about an hour and a half from start to finish. As I'm now back at work 5 days a week I went over to Aldgae and spent the rest of the day on the office. Now sat on a train at Liverpool St commuting home, like the old times..... I have a telephone appointment next Thursday so should get the result then.
