Hi Thanks everyone. I agree and do keep quite a good tab on things that are going on. While I was treated and diagnosed stage IV, my metastasis was 2.8 to 3.0 depending on the measurement. I personally believe that I am stage III and two of my three doctors (Surgeon, Oncologist) agree.

However, my Radiation Oncologist (who in my opinion holds the key) said stage IV and he wont hear any arguments to the contrary.

So catagorigly and historically speaking I had a small primary (1.6cm) border line (III,IV) met. I was considered a very curable case.
Of course we all know what that information is worth. Remember Lynn?

Once again, thanks for your concern. I check my neck nodes at least two hundred times a day and try to feel inside my mouth in the morning and at night (you all know the drill).

Also, since I wrote my first post my Surgeon
