Mica, I finished my rad and chemo on May 22 and had a neck dissection on July 26. I'm still recovering from the dissection. stiff neck, frozen shoulder, depression etc. You know when you think of it we've been through a lot!!! I can't compare it to anything else!! My main job now is to get better, everyday I try to do a little more, a little more. Don't listen to those thoughts about What's the point??? We do the work we get results.. Keep working to get better everyday. Keep talking with us!! WE need your experiences... I had a the thrush problem for months too...one morning it was gone, that quick. on to the next problem and we solve that one too. Keep Trying!!!Tom
