Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has had trouble opening their mouth. My jaw only opens so far. I am 6 months post radiation/chemo and was wondering if this is normal and will it ever be the same again.
Also, it seems when I chew food it doesn't seem to know where to go. It either stays to the left or right, I don't know how to get it to go down unless it is really moist.

Thanks for any advice,

Joyce
