Mouth stretching, swallowing, jaw stretching all being done - but I haven't been given any neck exercises and its definitely getting tight. I have a follow up appointment with my MO team next week and was going to ask about it. The nurse practitioner did say something last week about PT for the lymphedema happening under my chin as well.
Thank you for the reminder!
