Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 117 | great news.... I think radiation was much worse on me than the surgery (partial gloss, neck dissection and mandiblectomy)...so you can begin the recovery process right away and hope your journey will be over quickly and you see the light at the end of the tunnel. SO HAPPY TO HEAR THE GOOD NEWS.
