One of the major issues for me post treatment from Head and Neck cancer in 2014 that dog my life long term. After the Lymphedema issues what are long term, saliva glands destroyed, massive dental issues, jaw bone dead and damage to the gums. I now find my neck muscles have been weakened and badly damaged with no cure the oncologists tell me. I have found by using heat pads when the neck is in a very painful spasm a short term solution. But clearly radiotherapy does do massive damage to our bodies long term and we must be watchful for these long term issues. Perhaps sharing how we resolve such issues as the Doctors simply shrug their shoulders and say tough we have to live with it!
