My friend's husband had a neckseptomy along with removing part of his tongue. They also removed 4 nodes. She asked me the following.


"CAN YOU FIND OUT FOR ME HOW COMMON THE NECKSEPTOMY THING IS? THE DOC MADE IT SOUND LIKE THEY DO THAT IN ALL CASES JUST AS A PRECOTION. ALSO FIND OUT HOW BIG A DEAL IT IS TO REMOVE 4 NODES? IS THAT ALOT? NOT ALO? COMMON? WHAT?
WE WONT KNOW THE RESULTS TIL THE 30TH."

My question.. she was totally suprised they did the neckseptomy, she said she didn't know they were going to, I would have thought the dr would have told her what they were going to be doing....

Thanks again everyone ....
