The sad thing is, it was not common protocol back in 2002. They believed that the clear surgical margins and subsequent radiation would do the trick, and it did, for the head and neck. My problem has been with blood borne pathogens, they have given me cancer everywhere. I leave the house shortly for chemoembolization of my Kidney! I have had chemo now, after the cows got out! I have had clear nodes on the way to every cancer I have gotten!
