So, the thickening on J's neck must be the start of the fibrosis I've seen referred to? He's just completed 17 of 33 rad treatments and is noticing the thickening skin and some stiffness in the tissue there when turning his head (esp to the right where the majority of the rad is targeted). Does this just get worse, or can it improve after treatment?
