I spend a great deal of time trying to stengthen and loosen my neck muscles. I twist my head often side to side as far as it will go. I'm making slow progress with my neck. I think the body has amazing capacity to heal if you work at it.
I have no feeling on the right side of my neck though. Funny story: I was at a mens cologn (sp) kiosk and went to apply to the right side of neck. Couldn't feel anything hitting me from the sample mist, so I kept on spraying until I realized what was goin on. Needless to say, I got lots of looks from people for my stentch from too much cologn.
SCC, base of tongue, 2 lymph nodes, stage 3/4. 35 X's IMRT radiation, chemo: Cisplatin x 2, 5FU x2, & Taxol x2. Hooray, after 3 years I'm in still in remission.
