I shouldn't have this!

So, I had the MRI yesterday. I was in the machine for far longer than I was told, one hour instead of thirty minutes. Also, they pulled me out and injected me with a dye, then I was pushed back in.  An hour of all that banging was awful, but necessary.  I returned to the hospital this afternoon to see the original consultant. I had expected him to say I needed more surgery to remove the remaining part of the tonsil but no. Apparently I hadn't had a tonsillectomy two years ago, just a biopsy. He explained that the swelling was back as a tumour on my throat. The only was to deal with that was to start the treatment that I had been avoiding for the past two years. He thought I'd probably be started on a strong steroid to quickly reduce the swelling, but after that he had no clue.  I returned him and contacted my consultant's secretary to see if I could bring my appointment forward by a couple of days. She said she would leave him a message and would get back to me on Monday....

Since I last saw the consultant, my throat has become a problem again. I was snoring most nights and having a little trouble swallowing.  Since we now have a spare room, which I'm converting into a craft room, I decided to buy a sofa bed for when the snoring got too bad.  I realised when I returned from Austria at the beginning of September that it was easier to sleep in the craft room. I wasn't worrying about waking my husband and we could both have a good nights sleep. Plus my voice was beginning to deteriorate.  I decided to see my GP to get a referral to an ENT consultant, but the only appointment I could get was mid October. She agreed with me that my throat needed looking at, as she said my voice sounded as though I had tonsillitis. It was beginning to be uncomfortable most of the time. My mouth felt awful when I woke up, as I was sleeping with it open all of the time. I thought I could feel the scar from the tonsil operation I had two years ago.  So, yesterday...
