A 95% chance of 2 year survival is as good as it gets! (95% of recurrences occur within the first 2 years) Be happy! Not that you should pay any attention to the statistics.

I am glad that Tom is finally home.

My wife is an esthetician and occasionally sees people with facelifts which can involve a lot of surgery. Swelling is quite common in facial surgery and in some instances it can take almost a year to completely resolve. I saw a lot of people at the OCF convention who had radical neck disections and the surgeries really weren't very obvious - it just takes a little time.
