I also had the lump in the neck, but mine was at the base of the tongue. It will be tough for Tom & you for a while, but it can be done. I'm close to two years from diagnosis and doing well. No dry mouth, neck has ehaled from disection.
This site will help a lot. I wish I had found it before my treatmetn was finished. If you have questions, please ask. We all want to help.
