A while back i posted that i had a lump on my neck just below my ear and needed it removing and biopsying well its all over and news was good. I had my surgery to remove the lump in my neck on 1st June.Everythings ok it was benign thank god !! I had it done under local cos Im a coward,and was too scared to have a general.Its all healing nicely now and have small scar which im not bothered about.The diagnosis was persistent lymphodanopathy(spelling?) I had a pre-op blood test which showed up low thyroid levels and im now on meds for it,and i feel much better,more energy sinuses better,generally feeling healthier physically and mentally.The blood test I had in November 2008 thyroid levels were normal.Ive got to get another blood test in a month to see how thyroid levels are after Ive been taking the tablets.just wanted to thank all you who replied when i posted,I was worried frantic!
