Thank you. I have numbness from top of ear to the middle of my jaw and my neck, right side. My shoulder is sore but seems to move okay. Ear aches are awful but come and go. They removed 41 lymph nodes, 5 were involved in metastasis. Only two had shown up on CT. My PTC started on the left side. Now I'm concerned about the left lymph nodes. I don't want to do this again. Is it very difficult to identify nodules in lymph nodes? My TT and central neck dissection was just over a year ago. I think I am starting to spiral... I want the craziness to stop. It was supposed to be a one and done. PTC is the "good cancer" if you are going to get cancer. I am feeling defeated today.
