Hi Donna, while you are here, we shall try our best to help you and your hubby.

I see from your footer that your husband had pT4aN2bMX cancer, and given the tumor size and multiple ipilateral lymphnodes affected, I am suspecting adverse features (Extra Capsular Extension, Perineural Invasion, Carotid Artery Invasion, etc.) and probably in surgery his spinal accessory nerve, internal jugular vein and sternocleidomastoid muscle may have also been sacificed.

Neck Level III is associated with middle jugular nodes (all of them would have been removed), carotid artery - internal external bifurcation, inferior edge of larynx cricoid cartilage, omohyoid muscle. Honestly speaking it is all statistical and every individual is different in cancer. Your husband is receiving Concurrent multi-drug chemotherapy and radiotherapy just to ensure improved prognosis.

All the best for the treatment, as a caregiver it will be difficult time for you but it is more difficult for your husband considering pain of surgery and now CCRT.
