Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 23 | My husband Robert had 5 nodes that were positive, the ENT had felt that only 1 node was involved. It was a shock to hear 5 nodes. Robert did have a modified disection. He said it was the easiest part of the treatment.His disection was prior to chemo and radiation.

I had 30 nodes removed and all were negative. The neck dissection was a piece of cake compared to the partial glossectomy. No radiation or chemo due to the staging, T1, size of the lesion and negative nodes.
