My husband is concerned about the quality of his life after 30x radiation (Power 60) one salivary gland spared. What are the odds of having tighter skin around the neck?
He has a scar almost all the way around the bottom of his neck. His skin also feels numb and he feels intense pressure where the surgeon replaced his bottom left jaw.

What has your recovery process entail?

Thanks sophie
