Charm, Bill is indeed blessed with regard to the trismus issue. I actually ordered the Therabite very early in his treatment as a preemptive measure and he did start using it but never really needed to. He has a lot of other collateral damage from radiation but so far, he can open his mouth very well.
I was so very happy to find someone that really needed it. Maybe there are a few more of these Therabites gathering dust.
