Hi everyone!
I’m in a bad place atm I’m currently worrying about a white spot on my left tonsil. I first found it back in January and initially worried about it but showed my partner who didn’t think much of it so I left it and stopped worrying. However this past week I don’t know why but my mind has gone into overdrive and I’ve started worrying about it a lot thinking it might be cancer and I’ve left it too long now :( I’ve called my doctor but I’m waiting a call back tomorrow morning. The spot doesn’t cause me any bother at all it’s just there. I don’t know if it’s maybe a tonsil stone but I can always get them out and they are never on the larger side for me. I’ve tried pushing on it with an ear bud but nothing happens plus it makes me gag so I don’t like doing it. Another option could be a cyst. I don’t know I’m just worried that I’ve left it four months without having it checked and it could be something more serious.
When I searched Google (yes I know bad idea) I haven’t seen cancer being related to a white spot on tonsil and I don’t have any related symptoms to tonsil cancer. My health anxiety brain is really annoying me I just want to know it’s nothing to worry about so I can get on with life. Supposed to be going away next week for my birthday but this is bringing me down. I’m also scared that if the doctor can’t give an answer and has to refer me the waiting for that will send me over the edge. Waiting for a referral is what brought my health anxiety on in the first instance so I really don’t want that to ever happe again.
Don’t know what I’m asking for on here maybe some kind words and reassurance.
Thank you in advance x
