I will be getting it removed next week. Did anyone out there experience this problem? Can you tell me exactly how it's removed? The first question I asked the nurse was 'will it hurt?' & I'm told 'yes' w/a nervous giggle over the phone. ROLL MY EYES!!! Anyrates any advice/help you can give would rock. Thanx in advance.
Dig.7/03 3cm+ lymph nodes & base of tongue tumor. Radical neck dissection w/removal of one neck muscle, laser removal of tumor. 47 sessions of radiation, 2 doses of Cisplatin & PEG tube 40yrs old non-smoker/drinker
