Hi all,
Here's something I haven't seen talked about much. My husband actually asked me to post about this. At three years post treatment, he is seeing continual "wasting of his face". It seems that the fat cells are all obliterated by radiation. One friend likes to generously call it a "chiseled face". In reality, his face looks so gaunt as to be somewhat shocking to strangers. Oddly, this effect seems worse on the side opposite of his tonsil cancer and neck nodes. Don't know what I'm asking here...just some similar experience, I guess.

Thanks, as always,
Anita
