Hi, my name is Anne. I had a radical neck disection done in September 2000. The lymph nodes were removed from both sides of my neck, 1/3 of my tongue was removed and the floor of my mouth was rebuilt from a skin graft taken from my neck. I was lucky as my lymph nodes were cancer free and I did not have to receive chemo or RAD. It has been almost a year and half now and I'm feeling 95% of what I did before the surgery. Please don't wait any longer. If you would like additional support you can email me at Youngerag@aol.com
