Thank you for your reply, not long for your operation now, i really hope it goes ahead, my fear is that the operation will be cancelled. Mines 24th November
I did have a date for the 2nd November but got transferred to another hospital because I needed a neck dissection, I'm having another biopsy tomorrow.
Hi, my surgery went ahead on 15 November. I had a TT and central neck dissection. 25 of the 28 lymph nodes taken out were cancerous. I have RAI on 28 January. How are you doing? I hope your recovery is going well
You're a month ahead of me, are you still very swollen. I seem to be going back to the hospital every 10 days. I've not received my results yet due to Christmas. I'm due to get results 11th January, my surgeon said he had taken everything, like I said my scar is ear to ear.
Again thanks for your reply. I hope your RAI treatment goes well
My scar started to swell a bit, so I started doing massages near it to assist lymphatic drainage. I found videos on MacMillan and NHS websites. I did use E45 cream but it didn't help, so just use my usual moisturiser or something with Vitamin E in it. I also exercise my neck looking from side to side.
The waiting for information can be hard. I hope all goes well
Hope you're doing well, I'm still very swollen, my surgeon says it's due to having quite a few lumps, and 98 lymp nodes removed. I don't quite feel as positive as before but hopefully that will change when I've had my RAI treatment. Speak soon
