Saw surgeon yesterday and he is very pleased with results from the surgery. Good clear margins and out of the 30 lymph nodes they removed only one had a sign of cancer and not all of it. Therefore he is not recommending radiotherapy at the present time. They will continue to monitor me every 6 weeks. He removed 30mls of fluid from my neck. He cut a couple of stitches on the flap in my cheek and got some pus out and put me on augmentin antibiotic.
