Thank you, ChristineB, all the information you have provided has been much appreciated. Im a little worried....i got the reults ofnthe Pathologist on Tuesday, and my ENT scheduled the CT for tomorrow morning 7:45, with a STAT, written at the bottom....and then scheduled surgery for Wednesday, May 3rd. It all happened so quickly , i do not know if I have time for a second opinion, he didnt say anything to indicate that it was imperative. Is this unusual to have it done so quickly? He did say that he wo7ld be handling the surgery and I may choose to have the neck dissection vs. rads, but it might wind up being both.
