They sayd it was a very early stage cancer. The doc said the tumour was about 15mm. When we discussed the surgery procedure the doc said he would remove the tumour + around 10mm of sorrounging tissue. I havent seen my hole yet.

In the morning before the surgery he said he would try to remove as many lymph nodes from the neck as possible to make sure nothing spreads.

They never mentioned anything about radio.

The docs will do rounds on the ward tomorrow morning. What questions should i ask?

Thanks

Max
