Midline is for the tongue. The nodes are a completely different story.
I know my CT of the nodes showed no involvement and my RO blasted them anyway just as if they showed cancer. The doctor at Penn who I got my second opinon from said he would do the same.
On the bright side I only have to shave a small portion of my neck now.
