That's where I know your tag name FB, and CSN, which I sometimes browse. I stayed at Hope Lodge NYC for almost two months. which was an awesome place in the heart of Manhattan, so hope your expierience is the same. I did not participate in the many offerings like the different type massages, healthy cooking classes, etc. but met many people from all over during my stay. Hopefully you have a caretaker with you, most do, but was difficult doing it alone, going to treatment, having to shop, cook, clean for yourself, but they did have housekeeping service once a week, a laundry room, and all the amenities you may need. I had the same involved lymph node near the ear, level II, which was painfull, so needed the fentanyl patch to control the pain, and later on the same twisted nerves, veins, muscle, and needed a RND, which turned out to be best due to cancer being found in the neck muscle. All thes best.
