Dan had a radical neck dissection last Christmas eve and they took pretty much everything on the left side. He followed that with chemo/rad thru March, healed for a few months and then the shoulder/neck pain started. He has been in physical therapy twice a week for almost 2 months and that is helping but it's a slow process.
God bless,
Debbie
