Concern: Follow-up on thyroid papillary carcinoma, post total thyroidectomy and modified radical neck dissection - February 26, 2020
I taught her how to do physical self-examination of her neck:
Self-examination of the thyroid and neck checking for lump or lumps
4 steps with 6 reps:
1. Put examining fingers on both sides of the lower part of the windpipe and swallow at least 6x and feel for a lump between the fingers and the windpipe.
2. Slowly sweep down examining fingers as illustrated along the sides of the windpipe from up to down with continuous swallowing at least 6x and feel for a lump.
3. Slowly sweep down examining fingers as illustrated along the inner side of the neck starting from below the ears down to the collar bone at least 6x and feel for a lump.
4. On one side (one side at a time), slowly sweep down examining fingers as illustrated on the outermost side of the neck starting from below the ear down to the shoulder at least 6x and feel for a lump. Repeat on the other side.
