Hey Sue! They actually took all of my sisters nodes out on the right side. She is swollen since it was a few days ago but she is doing well. The surgeon we are working with is aggressive but that is what she wanted. Her Path report should be in next week to let us know if the cancer was in them. Her tumor was pretty big on her tongue so he decided to take them out. I will keep you posted on her path because when she took her Pet scan she had 2 nodes swollen but not postive for cancer. Hope Dave is healing well!!!
