Sharlee - I was glad to finally see your post - had been wondering how you were doing. It also got my curiosity up regarding neuromas after neck dissection, since I've had one too, so I did some quick research and found a couple of articles that you might find helpful in explaining this. The good news is that this has NOTHING to do with cancer, it is only an attempt for injured nerves to repair themselves.
