Hi Dan,

My sister already had her radiation. She couldn't have her neck dissection done until after radiation because of the amount of cancer she had. She had seven weeks of radiation.
She had all of her lymph nodes out on the left, also her internal jugular vein and the sternomastoid muscle. The doctor told her he took out everything that could come out.
Thanks for your reply..and God bless you.

Michelle
