Oscar instead of feeling short changed sweetheart you should feel grateful that you bypassed the dreadful stage of waiting for results and surgery.I am sure you were nervous before your surgery,but not nearly as much as you would have been if you had known you were getting a radical neck dissection!!
The diagnosis of cancer will inevitably leave you feeling stunned,angry and afraid in turn,but your prognosis looks good and thanks to you and your wifes dilligence you sound to have caught it nice and early.
Good luck with the treatment we will all be here to help with any questions or problems
love liz
