So yeah, I’ve been vague and morose on here a lot lately. A growth in my neck started bothering me in March and as it got bigger and bigger I found more and more stumbling blocks dealing with health care providers and insurance. Things moved a lot more slowly than I would have liked and I’ve been in a lot of pain recently. The good news is the mass is almost certainly not malignant according to my last biopsy, and should be safely removed via a single surgery I’m having in less than two weeks. In theory I should make a quick and full recovery.
