Hi everyone

I am now on here and going in for surgery next Thursday to have my saliva gland removed i went to my GP last year after feeling a lump under the skin on my neck but she failed to find it , I had to see a plastic surgeon for a small op on my arm and asked if she could feel it yes she did and got me in for a ultrasound urgently ,I had to go back for a recheck after 3months and the lump had grown i had a fine needle test and was told it was cancer , then it was not but told i need to have the gland removed .

I am not looking forward to it all i have watched videos on YouTube and it don't look very nice .

Can anyone give me advice and what to expect on the day and what is the recovery time .

Look forward to your replys .
