Tonsil Regrowth? Cancer?

Apologies, aware this isn’t the place for proper medical advice but waiting on an ENT referral and have gotten myself worked up to quite a state and have seen a few MumsNet posts over the years with similar things.

Have a very enlarged (but mobile) lymph node in my neck which the doctor has referred me to ENT for, as blood tests and chest x-ray came back “completely normal”. But have been having difficulty swallowing, loss of appetite, fatigue, ear pain and a hoarse voice. Looked in my mouth with my phone torch and can see what looks like a tonsil growing back(?) but worried it’s something else given all of my symptoms, as there’s a lot of what look to be swollen lymph nodes at the back of my tongue just beside it (on the same side as the swollen lymph node in my neck).

Just wondering if anyone has had anything similar? I know the ENT appt will take weeks to come through and I will be in a state of anxiety until then I think!

Thanks :)

I don't know about the photo, but some of what you say resonates.

I've had a smooth mobile raised lymph node on my collarbone since having glandular fever at 16.

I got my tonsils out about 20 years ago and they did grow back, which was most lovely! I didn't realise until I went to the GP with a sore throat and he told me.
