Michael,

Who are these clowns at Stanford? He operates on you and then goes on a 3 month sabatical? Did he tell you he was going to do that? Then they change their mind on surgery first or not? As far as I know, vitamins are out while you have cancer so not telling you that is another problem. And to make a statement that all CCC centers are the same is absurd. Not all drs in the best center are the same.

When I had my first MRND, I had a lot of tingling up to my ear for the first several months. I also developed a nueroma, a nerve that didn't go back into the casing properly. It didn't bother me unless someone touched it and then you had to scape me off the ceiling. It took five years, but it finally got to the point where it doesn't bother me if it is touched. Second neck dissection I had no tingling, no pain, nothing. Maybe a better surgeon second time. I don't know. Hopefully yours will go away soon.

Take care,
Eileen
