hi, lilyann here, reading your note about bad outcomes. i think i am in that class as i cannot speak very well, strain at a whisper, my whole right side where i had the radical dissection of the thyroid feels awful the whole right section of my body and hard to bring my rt. arm up to my head. i had 11 of 19 lymph nodes removed with those 11 being cancer. so now, i am having a hard time swallowing. my surgeries were in january and march of 2023. wish you the best musichart.
