Hi Coast Not the news any one wants to hear. A neck dissection could be offered along with immunotherapy which is having positive results for many. I’ve a friend who had mets to his lungs he had 2 years immunotherapy and is now almost 3 years since his last immunotherapy and doing really well.

once again it’s the waiting game for you try to keep busy and hope yiu aren’t waiting too long for answers.

best wishes
