Hi All,
I am newly diagnosed with an HPV positve P16 cancer that is in my nodes with a primary on the very back of the tongue. Tomorrow, I am going to have surgery, a neck dissection. I am hoping to find some advice for what to bring to surgery and what I can expect. Anything I should pack? Will I be able to move my arms to put on a shirt?

My tongue is still hurting so much from a biopsy I had two weeks ago.

I was given my treatment plan two days ago, on Thursday. I was not prepared for this but it's for the best to move as quickly as possible because it feels like more nodes are becoming involved. I put as much info as I could remember in my signature. The neck dissection is first because they are unable to treat my neck with radiation because of previous rads when I was treated for BC.

I will receive chemo and radiation in 6 weeks.

I am scared. Does anyone have any experience with AHCC and/or cannabis oil?

Maybe I am asking too many questions for a first post? Because of my surgery is tomorrow, I want to know about the neck dissection.

Feeling so upset.
