Hi Toronto! My husband had a left neck mass with unknown primary and just finished (yesterday) 39 radiation treatments and 3 rounds of chemo (actually ended up to be 4 rounds of chemo because they changed the chemo drug after5 the first 2 rounds from Cisplatin to Carboplatin and Taxol). He is scheduled for modified radical neck dissection next week. Are you going to have or have you had a neck dissection? How did you do through your treatments. Please write back with any comments or questions.
