All I can say is hang in there. Looks like you are finished with the worst of the treatment. Not the owrst of the results. It takes a while to heal. I'm two year out and still feel I'm recovering. However, I play golf, work, etc. I just don't hav ethe same energy I did, but it is coming back.
The eating will come. HE IS VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO EAT AT ALL. I 0lived on my tube for 4 months.
The neck pain is normal, I think. THe radiation does and surgery do a lot of damage to the muscular tissue. It will come back though. I work out often. It seems to help.
