Kirk,
Dan had modified neck dissections both sides end of last July (few nodes taken on each side, obviously not enough), then a left radical neck dissection Christmas eve. He has some numbness and some trouble sleeping on that side, but he is just 6 weeks post 8 weeks of chemo/rad. He really doesn't have much trouble and they say they took pretty much everything from the neck they could because he had such as aggressive tumor. If things go well in the near future, he will probably try a little physical therapy...they say that helps, too.
Have a good one!
Debbie
