Hi all,
I was tentatively scheduled at MDACC for a partial glossectomy and partial neck dissection on the right side (same side as the tumor), removing only lymph nodes on levels 1, 2, and 3. Now I've been told that 3 "suspicious" nodes showed up on the CT scan; 2 on the left side of my neck, one on the right. They want to do an "ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration" of at least the 3 suspicious nodes before surgery, in case the surgery plans need to be changed. Can anyone tell me how this procedure is done, and what "suspicious" really means?

Thanks,
Joy
