i had my surgery 2 years back to remove a mucoepidermoid carcinoma lump abt 1-2cm from my right cheek (inside the mouth) and been in remission since. it was graded stage 1-2. After the operation, I noticed my right neck looking thicker than the left. Had told the doctor during the reviews and he said it's alright. Recently was on an inverter exercise machine and my friend told me my right neck bulged abnormally big and last night after dinner saw it much bigger as well. Subsided this morning but not sure if I should be concerned. Also felt as if my eyeball alignment is going off, aligning outwards. Some friends say my gaze looks weird some say i look normal. Does anyone have any experience to share or can suggest what i should do? I have sent the photos to my doctor, waiting for his reply now.
Thanks!
mucoepidermoid carcinoma T1N0M0. DX 05-2005
