Hello Nichola and thank you so much for asking. I just arrived home this afternoon after being in hospital 8 days and what an amazing hospital it was. My operation was successful, thankfully, but recovery is so rough. My neck bandages came off yesterday and I look absolutely shocking! I don’t think I will be going out for a while. Overall, a very good experience as I trusted the surgical team who were all fabulous and so caring. They took 31 lymph nodes and only 1 had cancer, so lucky there. I won’t know until next week whether I need any radiotherapy so here’s hoping that i don’t. Stitches out on 28th, looking forward to that day and until then just recovering and managing pain. I still cannot believe this has happened but I have also had some real life clarifying moments and feel incredibly blessed too. Thank you.

Oh @Cazzita25 it sounds to me that, despite the wonderful care you have had, you have really gone through the mill.
Please really look after and be very kind to yourself and perhaps just stay in the warm if you can for a while
Please do keep posting how you are and we are about over the holiday season
