After my latest neck dissection in late November, and my radiotherapy which finished at the end of February, I've now developed another lump on my collar bone where it joins my sternum.
The biopsy revealed that it contained cancer cells and I had my MRI scan earlier this week. I should get the results after the MDT meeting next week but I know it's in a sensitive position.
This lump is about half the size of a golf ball and quite firm, unlike my other lumps which were all a little softer. The best I think I can hope for is that it's subcutaneous and they can cut it out.
Would appreciate anyone with experience of surgery in this area and the complications if surgery is deep seated.
