Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 4 | Just experiencing using this support group for the first time and noticed that you are a tonsil cancer survivor. I was also diagnosed with SCC Stage IV in March 2007, spread to 3 lymph nodes on my right neck, had neck dissection in May 07, radiation was completed Sept. 17, 07 and have gone back to work Dec. 07, I have positive thinking for my future. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 8,311 Senior Patient Advocate Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) | | Senior Patient Advocate Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)

Glad to have you on the Board and glad you're a survivor. You know if you plan to post more you can save yourself a lot of time by adding your history to your Signature Line so it will be there every time you post a question or a response (see mine below). To do that go into My Stuff at the top and enter Profile and then edit your Signature Line.
Welcome and I hope you share your valuable experiences with this Board.

Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 34 | I also have this problem and have been going to physical therapy which is helping but I also think that if you just keep stretching it on your own it will get there too. Mines getting better but still have a hard time with cheeseburgers, sandwiches and things that require a lot of chewing. My mouth just gets tired. | | |
