Hello

Hello,

I am new to this site... I lost my mother to an aggressive thryroid cancer 18months ago. Can I say it was traumatic and scary, however it was a privilege to nurse my mum on the palliative care journey and yes we laughed. I have just had a thryroglossal cyst removed that turned out to be just a cyst ... which is good. I also have an acoustic neuroma too, this is behaving at the moment... this is good too. I do also have a perotid gland swelling that I have had ultrasounds twice now and been told it all looks fine. I am however  a little nervous because my mother had the same and it was removed years before MRI and stuff. My concerns are my left side feels very different, goes from hot prickly sensations to numb sensations across the front base of ear and down my jaw line. My question is should I or can push for a FNA I think it's called to definitely put my mind at rest or just see what happens. These symptoms have been with me for well over a year ️.

please help become my stupid , happy chap again.
