I'm sorry too, to hear of this malignant lymph node on the other side of your neck - and although as awful as it is to have to go through that surgery and radiation again - thank God it is not in any other part of the mouth - and hopefully this will be contained succesfully. I wish you all the very best and remain positive in attitude - it's one of the best "medicine" around. Good luck and let us know how things are going.
