I am also very surprised that PT is not offered!!! I am receiving it now upon request thanks to this website. While I have had a fairly easy recovery my neck mobility is impaired and at times quite painful. I wish I had known to request PT sooner.
Lisa, I would also like to know the massage technique you are receiving as I am not getting lymphatic massage--just more of a straight-forward neck PT. I don't think my PT ever had a cancer patient.
