Ho Friends, generally doing prety good ( Yeah) two years posr treatment and had clear PET ( double yeah). Getting stronger and eating almost as much as BC. Hot peppers are still off the list though!!

But I have been having some significant nerve pain. Mostly in arms and shoulders. MRI shows no nerve impingnent or obvious problems.

I thought I have read somewhere on this forum that nerve pain is not unusual for folks who have had a lot of radiation on the neck. Any feedback out there?

Best to everyone

Steve
