My 47 yo brother had a radical neck disection 10 days ago. He was just moved to a step down facility. Everyone says he is doing terrific.
He is getting better every day. He has a peg tube and a trach. He still has his vocal cords...
and they didn't have to do any skin grafts.

He will be doing radiation therapy for 6 weeks...which hasn't begun yet.

Initially the Dr. said he would be off work for a month. Is this realistic? I can't seem him returing to work in two weeks.
BTW his work is not very physical.

Can he work while getting radiation tx's.

Thanks!
