Dear Rugbykim717, Let me add my welcome. Also, sorry you need to even know this site exists. It sounds like you have been through the mill. Hopefully, this last round of treatments will have gotten it all. Can't give you much help at this point other than to pray for your recovery and total cure of the cancer. I had similar treatment except for the tongue as you, as we all have, so we all have empathy for your situation. I had my neck dissection the day before you had yours, on May 4, so we do have some in common. Hang in there and the healing process will get going and things will improve. Just for my curiosity, were any of the hospitals you were treated at cancer centers? They generally do a better job and are much more compassionate about this disease than regular medical facilities.
