Hi Cheryl,
I've had two neck disections and been on this board since 5/2002 and I don't remember anyone having this complication. Usually the neck dissection is the easy part of the treatment. Sorry your husband has all these complications and hope he is feeling better on the new diet.

Take care,
Eileen
