My brother was negative for spreading to the lymph nodes in his CT scan and he was negative in the pathology report. We just met with the doctor and the doctor said "we removed the tumor bht it is going deep so myself and a couple doctors say we should do a neck dissection to remove about 28 lymp nodes and 4 weeks later we will do implant radiation."
Doctor wanted this Monday but my brother wanted a break so he will do two weeks from now July 14. (Doctor said actually that is a good idea for you to get a break) and then a month from now he will do radiation. What do you all think of this friends? He just wants to take an aggressive approach do it doesn't recour.
