hi,
Actually we did not have any neck dissection. The doctor mentioned that some people need one if there is anything left in the lymph node. They were going to check after his treatments. So we do not know if he will need it. I was just asking to see how it went or what it involved. We will see if it is something that he needs.

Thanks all,
EllenB
