Hi Jo2880IBC I am not 100% about other members having a neck dissection - hopefully with this chat bumped back up to the top we will get the right eyes over it who can weigh in with their experience. BCNA also has some helpful articles on lymph node surgery (including neck) to help you manage this - hopefully this is helpful for you: https://www.bcna.org.au/resources/surgery-and-breast-reconstruction/lymph-node-and-armpit-axilla-surgery
Please also don't hesitate to call us on the Helpline on 1800 500 258 - though we can't fix everything, we are here to help support you as much as we can through this experience whether that's practical advice or just an understanding ear to listen. 💕
