My husband had his radical neck dissection on Christmas eve and began chemo/rad on January 12. They could not get all the cancer during surgery, so they were pretty quick to get the treatments started. He also healed pretty quickly from the dissection.
Hang in there...try and make sure you have a great support system in place...you will need it in order to help your mom through this!
