Bob,

Thanks for your response - I tolerated the first neck dissection well and I received radiation before the surgery. The 2nd surgery is scheduled for Tuesday Sept 18, my nurse said I would probably go home the next day (no complications) I was hoping to be able to return to classes the next Monday (at least some of them)
