Like everyone else, I hope this turns out to be nothing serious. I know it's frustrating to hear something as vague as "changes in the upper neck" without any real context to put it in. I've periodically had to have scans of that area because of symptoms I've felt, but so far (thankfully) they've turned out to be stuff that could be dealt with by PT -- some cervical spine compression and stiffness that may be a long-term effect of radiation, but right now I put it in the nuisance category.
I hope you get some clarification soon and that it turns out to be good news.
