Hi, Paolopp smile
This has been a good thread, as I am concerned about my husband's neck, too. His surgery (both sides of the neck) was 12/04; radition was finished the end of Oct. His jaw line and neck are so hard it is difficult to even kiss him there. One of the volunteers at the cancer center provided him with an exercise video that carries him through gentle stretches, etc. He is doing them faithfully since the doc cleared him to begin and at yesterday's check-up, both the volunteer (10 yr survivor) and the doc were pleased with his range of motion. It is still very limited, but coming along.
Hope things improve for your brother. I can't get Tom to take anti-depressants, and while he sometimes keeps his frustrations from causing anger flare-ups, he can't seem to keep them from causing the easy tears.
All the best!
Nicki
