Some good news to share. I had my appointment yesterday at Derriford to discuss my histology results following my neck dissection and oropharangyectomy on 22nd April. The suregeon got a good 5 mm margin and there was no spread to nodes so I have been placed into group A of the Pathos traial which is monitor only. I'll have scans every 3 months for the first year and then every 4 months year 2. For now at least I have escaped Radiotherapy but I'll always be worried a bout it coming back at some point. I still feel like I'm swallowing glass but hoping that will bet better soon and now looking to plan a holiday just hubby and I as feel the need just to get away for a few days and process what's just happened. Thank you to all who have replied to my requests. it's been lovely to have your encouragment through dark times.
That’s good news. 5mm margin is excellent so you can go away and not worry. I know the worry returns before scans. Scanxiety they call it but you’re being well looked after. Wonderful. Enjoy your break!!
