So finished surgery around noon yesterday. 20 nodes on left side removed and 2 biopsies on the right. The 2 on the right are benign. Tonsils removed. Spot on tongue benign. Had to have a drain put in. I ate and drank last night like crazy despite the sore throat. Most likely head home this afternoon. Staples and drain should come out in next few days. Overall feel good. Surgeon spoke as if he wants to just monitor me and avoid radiation but that will of course depend on the pathology report. Right now, I'm just going to heal and move on with life. Not going to sit around and wait for this or that. It will all come together soon enough.
