sorry you had to join our forum. As a new member myself I can say that everyone on here is amazing and so helpful. I had a neck dissection too as there was 1 highly suspicious node and 1-2 other rounded nodes. I ended up with 9 involves nodes out of 67 which means there was 6 in there that they really didn't know would be a problem until hey were removed so I wouldn't say the neck surgery was a waste of time. At least you've got peace of mind that its all clear there now.
Best of luck for your next appointment.
Cheers, Mel.
