Hi Paul,

So there is hope? Numbness and strange tingling sensation can go away with time after a modifying radical neck dissection? Any luck with the tightness of the skin after fibrosis?

My husband just mentioned today that it feels like his neck is getting slightly tighter but it may be from all the stretching and neck exercises.

We had sushi tonight after his first day of radiation and he still has to cut the rolls in smaller pieces but really enjoys sushi more than any other food.

Thanks for the bit of hope, Sophie
