Hi 5 months post op from T2N0M0 tonsil cancer, neck dissection and tors robotic surgery.
Thought I'd do a quick update. Baseline ct scan after 3 months clear but lymph node on otherside swollen ( this was also checked at beginning of treatment) so ultrasound done and I'm waiting for results.
If anyone had told me 5 months ago that i'd be returning to work tomorrow I wouldn't have believed them but I am going back to school tomorrow!!!!! only part time til Oct half term as still having a few issues with my speech.
For anyone who is struggling or thinking that things will never improve, they will you just have to give your body time. I still worry and can be very emotional at times but we go through alot on this journey.
Thank you to everyone who gave me support and advice. This site is truly amazing.
Keep fighting.
