Hi everyone, on Wednesday 19th I'm having a neck dissection at Leeds General Infirmary. Could anybody share their experiences of what to expect. Recovery time, hospital stay and any tips on being prepared. I've had 35 fractions of RT and chemotherapy and been clear for 18 months. I have some lymph nodes that have shown up on a recent MRI scan, the scan we for something unrelated.
