Well I wanted to let you all know that he is doing better since the medication has been adjusted. He started 30mg M-eslon 12hr slow release and is starting gabapentin to help with nights.
Our chemo nurse took matters into her own hands and had Mike's chemo oncologist take care of the Rx's for us since ENT hadn't done anything 2 days after urgently asking.
What is the recuperation like for radical neck dissection? The ENt said they were going to take all of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and lymph nodes out on that side. Doc was saying a week, that isn't what I've been reading? Just wondering

take care
Josee
