My husband is doing well and is expected to be discharged tomorrow-8 days post-surgery. We will stay in town a few weeks for follow up appointments before heading home. He is still pretty swollen and has the stitches from the neck dissection and wearing a boot on his lower leg. I am not clear on whether they took a salivary gland. The Fellow says they did, but the nurse told me that that is not in the surgery report. I will ask again at the follow-up visit.

We are still waiting for the final pathology report to see if any more treatment will be required.

I can’t thank everyone in this group for all of the information and support you have given us.
