Hi all, 

My brother has a recurrence of  his oropharangeal cancer, this time in his submandibular gland. He is having a salvage neck dissection this week and am wondering what to expect in terms of recovery and support he may need as he lives alone.He still has a rig for feeding so that should be straightforward. How long will he need to be tube fed for example. I am his main career but also have mum with stage 4 bowel cancer so feel a bit overwhelmed 

thanks Seashell
