Hi I’m 38 and I’m due to have a second surgery on Tuesday to remove a lather piece of my soft palate as margins were not obtained before.
Ive also had a suspected polyp removed from my uterus and now I’m panicking it’s all related. Has anyone experienced this situation?
Hi HayMitch. Sorry to hear about needing more surgery. What was your first surgery and when did you have it? Only your medical team will be able to tell you if the polyp in your uterus is related but even if it is you are in good hands with your medical team and they will sort things out for you.
I have had 3 different occurrences of jaw cancer over time 2 involving my soft palate and the last one having a skin graft from my forearm replacing what remained of it. It seems daunting at the time but things improve and you do get back to living your life again albeit in a slightly altered form so don't panic.
Sending you my very best wishes
Lyn
