They went away after the neck dissection and removal of the remnets of the tumor which the doctor said had shrunk so much, he thought it was scar tissue from the radiation. My main thing now is a stiff neck, frozen shoulder and knot in the left shoulder blade muscle. I begin and look forward to PT on monday. It's honestly been very difficult, but also a positive challenge on finding solutions to problems and slowing down and taking care of oneself. Best Wishes, Tom
