Hello again everyone,
Just an Update
I found out yesterday that I will be having a
functional neck dissection.
This will be on Aug 18/03 The Surgeon says depending on how stuck the nodes in my left neck are I may wake up with a Modified, My last CT on the 7th of July again showed my lympth node is still shrinking it's down to 1.5cm now and the are not sure if their is any cancer. Surgeons advice is to "not miss the boat on this", "one cell is a ticking time bomb" That is why I agreed to the surgery. I'll let everyone know how it went wink
God Bless
Raymond
