I'm surprised Davidcpa has replied to this. Why are they recommending a neck dissection for a T1N0M0? Are you being treated at CCC? I would seek a second opinion on the necessity of having the neck dissection unless there have suspected lymph node activity on a scan or can feel it. This surgery can have permanent side effects.
Take care,
Eileen
