Well, my tonsils have always been very large. As a child and young adult and even once or twice a year now I will get strep throat. For the last few years though I ve noticed a large almost flat circle sticking out behind my tonsils, the right side much larger than the left. I often feel like my glands are swollen and my ears and throat kinda bother me. Should I be worried? I was diagnosed with Breast cancer last year and I do have the BRCA1 genetic mutation.
