Hey folks,

My ENT left the enlarged lymph node in, I see more than a few of you had the neck dissection. His reasoning was location, sitting right next to some serious blood vessels and nerves. He said radiation can get anything in the node.

He told me prior to the surgery that he was goings to take a bunch of small samples from all over then if those come back neg, go
after the tonsils, if they came back neg, go for the node. Once the tonsil came back pos for SCC he stopped.

This seem normal to you folks?
