Hi Cheryld It's very nice to meet you too!!! & zengalib again (LOL)!!!!

I'm not sure how many lymph nodes where removed, the doctor told us that he removedf all of them on the right side of my neck. Cancer was found in only one lymph node. I was raised around smokers all of my life, my dad smoked 4 & 1/2 packs a day. My husband use to smoke until I was diagnosed then he stopped. smile

All of my CAT-Scans have been clean, YAY!!!!!! smile NO CANCER!!!! smile

(((((( BIG HUGS To All of You Too!!!!))))))
