David's point and mine are Neck Dissections shouldn't be taken lightly and in no way an outpatient procedure without complications.

I can't use half of my tongue, affecting eating, drinking, swallowing and most importantly kissing.

I've lost function in my lower lip, affecting eating, drinking and kissing (again) and it's disfiguring.

I'd go through chemo and radiation again rather then have these side effects, they are not a breeze and I'm sure anyone who's experienced them would feel the same.
