Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 138 | I just found out I have Stage IV cancer also and am having a neck dissection October 2nd. Been reading on here for a while because I was afraid it would show up cancer even though the ENT kept telling me he didn't think it was anything abnormal, just a swollen lymph node. He did a needle biopsy almost reluctantly and then still didn't believe the reading and sent me for a PET scan before he decided I really did have cancer.
