I had a total laryngetcomy and left neck diesscetion after having had XRT radition 4 years previous. It was my only option. Chemo doesn't cure it and couldn't have any more radiation. Surgeon did not mention concerns about the fact I had had radiation. I would make certain that whever is doing this is used to operating on irradiated skin.
Here's hoping the biospy comes back negative. Try to concnetrate on enjoying the holiday. Worrying won't change the results.
Take care,
Eileen
