Hi Everyone. Hope everyone's doing well.
Just wanted to post an update after this weeks surgery. Had surgery on Tuesday this week and had level 2-4 neck Dissectomy and Tongue base mucosectomy. All seems to have gone as planned although left with a scar from Adams apple to behind my ear which I have no issues with. Pain wise neck a little tight but apart from that fine. Throat quite painfull at the minute,very much the same as after my tonsillectomy so I am expecting another week or so of discomfort.
Will see consultant on the 8th May to find out results and next steps in treatment if primary located or not.I certainly feel better knowing the lymph node/nodes containing the cancer cells have now been removed so hopefully another step on the way to recovery.

Sounds encouraging Paul. Glad you’re feeling relatively ok. Fingers crossed for the 8th that the news is good and you don’t need any more treatment.
