Congratulations on your diagnoses! I had a total Larygngectomy and I am going throught Rad/Chemo at this time. My neck is definetly tighter than I like but as the Radiation works it seems to make the muscles fiborous,lacking the fluidity of youthful muscles. I have been rubbing my neck often like a message and it helps. I can now turn my head under the faucet and drink water after brushing my teeth. I am sure glad I didn't need a radical neck disection, but I have met a guy who had one years ago and he doesn't have too many complaints. Lucky I guess.
