I did have the third neck dissection at Mayo on 6/22/23. By the grace of God and Dr. Moore’s skillful hands, the surgery went well and I had no post op complications except for swelling and edema in my face and neck that has since subsided (for the most part). Reading his notes about the surgery he said “this dissection was substantially more difficult than usual due to extensive scar tissue…”. He did not rule out another surgery if one was necessary but that would have to be the last resort. Each recurrence the treatment options get fewer and more difficult with more greater possible complications. That scares me. I am trying to focus on the positives and am truely grateful I can still talk and sing!
