Hi everyone,

We met this afternoon with an associate of my doctor - remember he's out with a detached retina - anyway, my doc gave me 2 options on referrels and we are choosing his associate. He was personable and I liked him so the surgery is still a go for tomorrow afternoon. They will take a tissue sample and send down for biopsy, then know whether to proceed with a 2nd neck dissection. He did say he would be limited on what he could safely get to and remove - won't know till he gets in there and there's still a chance it's a benign neuroma (sp?) but if it's not, then we can look at chemo and drug therapy, but I cannot have any more radiation. I know it's not cancer, till the pathology says it is, but I have to admit, I'm scared tonight - as we all are. I'll post results when I get home
