[quote=AnneO]John, How many lymph nodes out? I am assuming you had a CT scan at least. Were the lymph nodes taken out because it looked like one was diseased?
As to swelling . . . variable. Without radiation it will still take you some months for it to be close to normal. Be sure you do the exercises they will tell you to do.
It would be handy if you would make a signature to let us know what your situation is. Hopefully your surgery will take care of everything!
Best to you, Anne [/quote]
They removed some as a precaution and froze some to see if cancer would grow and it came back negative. I can currently talk a bit and think I'll be able to talk normally once the swelling goes down. The most amount of pain I'm currently experiencing is coming from the tip of my tongue. A nurse told me around a week and the swelling would go down. I'd like to be able to manipulate food without pain
Taking a break from the forum for a while. Thank you so much for your support if you've been supportive.
