Nine days post-op, I had half of the over 40 staples removed. At thirteen days post-op, I had the remaining staples removed. My neck is still very tight and will continue to be so for a few weeks as the scar tissue underneath the skin forms.
My doctor removed from my right neck 30 lymph nodes, a 7 cm section of my internal jugular vein, part of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, and some salivary gland tissue. The pathology reports shows cancer only in the one lymph node which tested positive in the PET scan three months ago.
I'll be returning to work next week.
