I've been reading several posts and see a lot of references to dissections. I've also read the definitions of the procedures. I am wondering when typically one of the procedures is performed. She is now in 3rd week of chemo and starts radiation next week. I don't think a dissection has come up in the treatment plans. Just curious about this aspect.
