Hello everyone,

I had my neck dissection surgery one week ago. They have removed the clips today.

Unfortunately, all my left side around the neck is numb. They say it can take even 6 months for the numbness to go away.

I would be keen to hear other people's experiences. How long did it take to recover?

25/09/12 - diagnosis: lateral left side tongue moderate SCC (10-15mm)
15/10/12 - operation: partial glossectomy + neck dissection
17/11/12 - operation: excision of the tongue scar (or extensive biopsy)
