Can't blink eye at all after surgery
My husband had cancer surgery on his neck in April. Now he can't blink his eye. It is the same side as to where he had surgery. Could a vein be carrying the cancer up to the eye and maybe go into his brain?

The facial or 7th nerve is responsible for stimulating the muscles which close your eyes. I would highly recommend seeing an eye doctor once your husband is physically fit to do so, to examine the rest of his eyes and suggest a remedy for the same.
