Here is what she said about the procedure:

" ... i dont rememeber, I am sure he called it a necksectomy but I dont know cant be sure - they cut from ear to ear to remove 4 nodes. thats what i know.
he participated in a study where they injected him with a radioactive die & then scanned him to see which node beds it draines into - i hope this makes sense thats about all i know! lisa"

I feel like when to people are standing next to each other but won't talk so a 3rd person stands there and relays everything said.....

She also admitted to not really hearing what the dr said and zoning out. She said after the word 'cancer' she just doesn't hear anything else.
