Liz,
I had my neck dissection about 2 months following Tx and actually had the PEG removed prior to that, about 5 to 6 weeks after my final radiation day. My neck was done later as my ENT wasn't satisfied that the nodes had shrunk as much as she had hoped for. She removed 11 nodes with all being negative.

Dx 4/27/06, SCC, BOT, Stage III/IV, Tx 5/25/06 through 7/12/06 - 33 IMRT and 4 chemo, radical right side neck dissection 9/20/06.
