Boy did I smile when I saw your posting name. I thought about you the other day, wondering where you were.
I'm also having issues with my neck, not sure why some do and some don't. I had the disection on the left side and it's just so tight, and now it's as if it's pulling up on my shoulder. It's not something I expected, and if I'm busy I tend to not notice it as much, but it can be painful and I feel like it's moving into my chest also. What did your doc say about it all?
Great to hear from you. I'll be three years post surgery April 1 and three years post radiation in July. Time flys!
SCC Left Mandible. Jaw replaced with bone from leg. Neck disection, 37 radiation treatments. Recurrence 8-28-07, stage 2, tongue. One third of tongue removed 10-4-07. 5-23-08 chemo started for tumor behind swallowing passage, Our good friend and much loved OCF member Minnie has been lost to the disease (RIP 10-29-08). We will all miss her greatly.
