Thank you for replying Tammy.

I don't know what kind of dissection it is. I don't remember if they told me. It's going to be on the right side and a chain of nodes will be removed. Are the levels the level of the nodes?

They did give me warning about possible issues with the shoulder and facial muscles because of the nerves being touched and moved. It's a 3 hours surgery.

I hope your husband is recovering, I see 2014 ned, that is great.
