Hi Zenda,
We are at similar points in our treatment. I had a tonsillectomy last November followed by modified neck disscetion in January. I start combined chemo/radiotherapy Monday 28th Feb.
I had 2 drain tubes which were in for about 4 days. I still have swelling on the neck and a feeling that someone has a grip on my neck/shoulder. I am told this is expected and will only get worse with radiotherapy.
Good Luck
Chris
