My spouse had neck spams from the surgery. A few weeks after the surgery (a dissection of the left neck) a palpable node popped-up on the right neck. We got were worried.
We saw the tumor board team right after the node popped-up. Each of he three Doctor on the team felt the node and said that it was not cancerous. One of these doctors ordered a CT scan and the scan report also indicated that the node was not cancerous. About a month later we saw an ENT at a CCC who also felt that the node was not cancerous plus it had not been getting any better.
This ENT order an FNA biopsy which showed the node not to be cancerous. A little later the node was no longer palpable.
We worried needlessly. I hope that you get good news about the node.
