My husband had a lot more work done than just neck dissection and laryngectomy so your recovery will be quite different I'm sure. Even so, he recovered fairly quickly.

I have a book that I found helpful "Looking Forward...The Speech and Swallowing Guidebook for People with Cancer of the Larnyx or Tongue". Send me a PM with your address and I'd be happy to send it to you. No need to return it.
