Thank you both for your replies...my understanding was that when Tony had his neck dissection that they removed all nodes. However one ( as explained above) was positive, in my own head because there was one that was positive there is chance therefore that the cancer could have travelled elsewhere?

I know it may seem strange but I only just plucked up courage to read the letter we received some weeks ago, this weekend, which had a written form of what we were told when we went for the results. All I can remember when we were told verbally was that they had got all the cancer relating to the tongue but also found a small area at the back of the thyroid which they also removed. But reading the letter when I read the cancer near the thyroid was found in a node it worried me

I will do as you both suggested and ask the consultant though....

just worried though.
Thanks Kathy
