      Thank you all for your posts. There are a lot of lurkers here (like me) who are constantly searching for more information, and your posts help us to learn (e.g. I've started taking vitamin D and probiotics in advance of my upcoming Ipi infusions, and my wife knows what to watch out for in terms of bad potential side effects).

      Last Thursday I had a complete lymph node dissection of the left side of my neck (and "2/3" of a particular neck muscle taken out as well) just got home from the hospital today. Results will come in by the end of this week and at least one node will be positive because it was previously tested positive following a partial excision of that particular node in January.

      Now I'm just trying to heal as much as possible, in advance of the Ipi therapy.
