Hi Cheryl,

They explained it as, depending on how deep the tumor is ( to where they can get clear margins,) will depend on if I will have neck dissection. Everyone is hoping since I have caught it very early, I will not need. My surgeon always schedules the dissection to follow in these types of cases. I believe it is because he will use the or with the DiVinci robotic knife for tumor and a different or for neck dissection.
