I would love more information. My father is 15 months out from last radiation treatment. He is starting to have even more limited mobility and lots of pain.

Holly, you’ve posted on a really old thread, so it’s unlikely anyone who posted there would respond.

I read your first post and you mentioned your dad had a really good dentist. What does he say about the trismus? Has he given your dad any recommendations on what exercises to do or if a therabite would help? Is the dentist someone you access through the cancer centre? If not, you can ask him to talk directly to the oncologist and see what course of action is recommended. Is there an SLP at the hospital you can access?
