I know this is going to be hard to do but please try and calm down. Many of us were Staged a IV and had this Tx and are almost normal a couple of years out. Please read my Signature Line below. First off how were you diagnosed? Where is your Primary tumor located. Did they do a FNA on both sides of your neck? Did they do a biopsy on your Primary. What exactly have you been told and by whom? The more info we know, the better we can share our experience and knowledge.
