Well im on the other side of the dissection, they managed to save important structures in my neck. The only one that had to go was the left jugular. I feel much better and it has only been 6 days post op. So that you for the feedback. Oh and the surgery was way easier and a lot less time consuming that the Radiation and Erbitux. Have a good day people...shawn U.


. Radio/Erbitex:(35/6.) .6/13 RSSC with met.to left neck.9/11/13 MND with left tonsil removal.9/18/13 margins failed, .Dx Terminal. 10/22/13 Dx.StageIII Lymphedema. Carboplatin/Taxol, cancer progression,WECF
3/14/2014 given 2 weeks, 3 maybe. All the veins in my head are slowly leakinging due to Ehlers Danlos syndrome. lucky thing is that my spinal fluid leaking out my nose is slowing the build up of pressure in my huge, huge head. you would not believe.
