One oncology nurse called it the Wooden Soldier syndrome . I couldd not move my neck without turning my entire head and body. It took a while before I could drive again. Physical therapy and time very slowly worked. My skin actually felt like petrified wood. You could even knock on it. 4 years later, there is still a marked difference between the left side where the dissection was and the right side where only radiation was .
I am sorry for your husband's pain and sorrow. How do I deal with it? Both my deceased father and mother set the example that a man or a woman do what needs to be done and endured for the sake of the family. I try in my way to live up to the sacrifices they made for me, my brothers and sister.
