Hi,

My dad recently got operated for salvage surgery for oropharyngeal cancer staged at T3N2bMo. He underwent 7 weeks of radiotherapy and 6 chemotherapy sessions in Feb 2012.

Post surgery, he has got a lot of swelling and his neck has got stiff. Has anybody else experienced the same problem..Can somebody please share thoughts and guide what can be done to reduce his pain?

Caregiver for my dad,
