Hi everyone, I was hoping I would never have to say this again, but the mass in my neck is back. It grew back since my last surgery about two years ago. I have been managing it all this time but in the last 3 days it shifted. I was hoping that warm compresses and fluid might make it manageable, but the situation has rapidly gotten to the point where I went to the emergency room yesterday and was admitted to the hospital. My family is with me. I do not know when I will be having surgery but it looks like the only way I will ever be rid of these masses is if I have my entire sub-mandibular salivary gland removed. I am in excruciating pain, and can only talk through clenched teeth, because if I open my jaw, it presses on the mass even more. I am having trouble swallowing/tremendous pain when I swallow because it is pressing into my esophagus. It feels like there is a hedgehog inside my neck. I usually don’t like to post about my personal life but in the coming days and weeks I won't be able to definitively schedule any videos or patreon rewards. Everything is very up in the air. I am so sorry but this snuck up on me and I didn’t have the time to plan for it like I did in the past. I am very scared. I didn’t know how to address this here, but I didn’t feel right not addressing it at all and disappearing.
