Welcome! My hubby had a radical neck dissection Christmas eve and started chemo/rad on January 12. He ended up having 8 weeks of chemo/rad. He worked a little the first couple of weeks, but could not have worked after half way and he is still recuperating now. He had max rad to tongue, throat and both sides of neck and med. chemo (4 hr. treatment every Monday). I guess it all depends on how much radiation he is getting. My prayers will be with you guys.
