I had neck dissection only on one side, but I had cancer of the tongue also. I am in NC also, I went to Greenville for help. I had surgery twice one to remove tumor from my tongue and then I noticed swollen nodes and then had the neck dissection only on one side. I was in the hospital each time over night. It didn't hurt when the drain was taking out. I did radiation & chemo after surgery, the Dr. 1st didn't think I would need it because the tumor on my tongue was small, then when I went back about the nodes he didn't think it was cancer. I told him I wanted them out, and that was a good thing 3 were cancer. After that he decided I need both rad.& chemo. Where are you going for treatment? I'm in Wilson and go to Greenville for everything. I will put you on our prayer list at church. I will be thinking of you on Sept. 2, and wish you all the best.
