Hello

New to all this! Diagnosed three weeks ago and have my operation on the 30th.!

anyone out there had this operation and what were your experiences if you don’t mind.

did you get a big scar?

sorry for all the questions! 

  • Hi Amanda

    sorry you find yourself with cancer and in this forum. 
    I had a quick glance at your details and no wonder you are anxious. 
    If you put parotid gland cancer in the group search at the top there are a few recent posts. 
    It’s good news that it’s been caught early 

    I wish you well and hope your recovery is speedy 

    Do post back as you have more questions and good luck

  • Hi Amanda, 

    I'm similar to you, I was diagnosed back in March but because of Covid it's taken until recently to schedule my surgery, it will be on 3rd Aug.  It's amazing how well these scars heal.

    Good luck for your surgery

    Bless you

    scary isn’t it. I have been very lucky I must say. From first contact with GP at start of may I’ve had all sorts of scans and tests and surgery on the 30th July. 
    I was fine now I’m getting scared.

    good luck with yours .x

    Hi, how are you doing after your surgery? I had my parotid surgery on 10/7 and for the most part am feeling great, I just have the odd day where I feel wiped out but I was warned the GA would cause that.
