I'm extremely frustrated right now... I have been trying to get answers from my doctors/nurses as to when I am permitted to return to work (because I am on short-term disability) and I haven't heard a peep. I mean really? They can't tell me "no, you're not ready to go back to work yet" or "you should be able to return to work now with the following conditions:..." or "you can return to work as normal effective immediately" or something of the sort? REALLY? what the hell? and despite all of my bitching and my surgeon's nurse's promise to set me up with Physical Therapy, I still have zero information on that either. Am I being unrealistic here??? I can't just go back to work whenever I feel like it so why are they not giving me answers?? Grrr!

38, non-smoker, otherwise perfect health. Biopsy: 3/8/2012, SCC Dx Right Underside Tongue: 3/12/2012, Surgery: 4/11/2012 Partial Gloss + Neck Dissection to remove 29 nodes (all clear). No Rads or Chemo req'd. I believe my SCC was caused by product used in dental work.
