I didn't get a neck dissection, I finished chemorad Dec12/11. I still have a residual hard node, feels like an almond sliver under my left jaw beside the carotid. I will get a scan in mid Feb/12. I will probably know then if they will do a post dissection of some sort.

However, I was wondering, are there many of you out there that just had the residual node left alone? Told it was scar tissue? etc?
