A whole lot of nothing!
Today was the 6 week follow up from my surgery on June 2. The doctor poked and prodded and looked in all the obvious places and found nothing. Get your mind out of the gutter, I'm talking my ears, nose and throat. He felt all around and basically said any weird lumps and bumps are just everything trying to move back into place now that the mass is gone.
After he dazzled me with his smile, he was able to confirm a few things for me. Yes the tumor was rare, but thats the way things go sometimes. I got lucky, pure and simple. Tumors of the vagas nerve are far more common than my sympathetic nerve tumor. It was a clean removal, which means he was able to remove all of it with nothing left behind, and the odds of it ever happening again are pretty much slim to none. The odds of my kids getting it are the same odds. It's not hereditary so there shouldn't be anything happening to them. He was pretty confident that my experience was a one time thing and I shouldn't have any more problems.
The last thing he said before he kicked me out the door was "See you next year!" Lets just hope next year brings nothing new.
Now what should I do with this sexy scar? Im thinking just enjoy it as it is.
Have a great day!
