Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 144 | Well im on the other side of the dissection, they managed to save important structures in my neck. The only one that had to go was the left jugular. I feel much better and it has only been 6 days post op. So that you for the feedback. Oh and the surgery was way easier and a lot less time consuming that the Radiation and Erbitux. Have a good day people...shawn U.
