Hi Nancy,

I had two clusters of tumours removed from my right neck and on and under my left jaw. Because my surgeon didn't want to remove too much muscle from my neck he didn't perform a dissection on the right side - just removed the suspect nodes. And I actually didn't get or request details of the pathology.

I start radiation and chemo on the 30th November and have just made a detailed post to try and find out if anyone has done a similar regime - my left side is being reradiated (40 gray) and the right side will recieve a full dose - all within 3 weeks!

On the down side I spent two nights in hospital this week after a bleed in my mouth, which they think was a haematoma or some complication from the neck surgery, which burst out of my tongue. I had horrendous pain when it occurred but am doing fine now.
