Last Saturday was the 2nd year anniversary of my surgery (only).
I now need to book for a check up over the next days but am quietly confident that all will be OK.
Can anyone advise re yearly follow up testing.
Last and all follow up visits with the H & N surgeon have only entailed him feeling around my neck area. I have never had anything else before or after surgery.
Should I be asking for something more in the way of a yearly test ???
