Got the test results of the needle biopsy today, seems the swollen node on the right side of my neck, the side opposite from original surgery, radiation, etc is also malignant.

So, back this Monday for another neck dissection, probably followed by another 6 to 7 weeks of radiation. Doc thinks it won't be as bad this time because it's only on my neck, not my tongue or mouth area for the surgery and radiation, and probably no chemo.

So I've been married for a whole week, the INS/State Department/Department of Homeland Security won't even give my bride a visa to visit Hawaii for 10 days, and now this. This ain't a good way to start a marraige.

Am I ticked!!!

SCC Tongue, stage IV diagnosed Sept, 2002, 1st radical neck dissection left side in Sept, followed by RAD/Chemo. Discovered spread to right side nodes March 2003, second radical neck dissection April, followed by more RAD/Chemo.
