Christine, you are reading my mind! I thought the same thing: ENT #1 gives me the impression that this is a minor surgery, and when I asked her if I need follow up radiation or chemo she said "not necessary". Then she refers me to her co-worker, who says I need this neck dissection and insinuates that my survival chances are very low if I do not do what he proposes. But, if I do, I can have an 80 percent chance of surviving. Does the right hand know what the left hand is doing???
